1/2 Tumân - Āghā Moḥammad Khān Type D, Khoy mint

Āghā Moḥammad Khān founded the Qājār dynasty after decades of brutal campaigning to reunify Iran following the fractures left by Nāder Shāh's assassination in 1747. He was himself assassinated at Shusha in 1797 — the same year this coin was struck — making any issue from his reign a terminal artifact of a reign that lasted, in name, less than two years after his formal coronation at Tehran in 1796.

Khoy, in northwestern Azerbaijan province, functioned as a regional mint of consequence during Qājār consolidation. The Type D designation distinguishes die-linked varieties within KM#633, a distinction that matters given how briefly this ruler's name appeared on Iranian coinage.
