| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse field is densely filled with a four-hemistich Persian verse in Nasta'liq script, rendered in bold raised calligraphy that fills the entire flan. The poetic legend, a characteristic formula used on Qajar coinage, declares that the sun and moon of gold and silver in the world derive their authority from the seal of the Imam, the rightful Sahib al-Zaman (Lord of the Age). Small pellet decorators are interspersed among the letter forms, and the overall design extends to the plain edge without a defined inner border, consistent with the Type B classification of Agha Mohammad Khan issues. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Agha Mohammad Khan founded the Qajar dynasty after decades of brutal consolidation following the collapse of the Zand. Shiraz had been the Zand capital — Karim Khan's city — and striking coinage there in Agha Mohammad's name was a deliberate act of political erasure as much as monetary administration. He was formally crowned in 1796 in Tehran, meaning these Shiraz issues predate his formal coronation and belong to the period of violent unification rather than settled rule.
He was castrated as a child by Adel Shah and never forgot or forgave Persian power structures built on dynastic legitimacy. These coins are his answer to that.
