| Additional information |
Fath Ali Shah's reign produced an extraordinary proliferation of mint activity across Iran, with Kashan operating as one of the secondary but consistently productive provincial mints. The Qiran denomination itself was formally introduced as part of a monetary reorganization in the early nineteenth century, replacing the older Rial as the primary silver unit — a change driven partly by the need to rationalize coinage after the financial strain of the Russo-Persian Wars of 1804–1813.
Type E distinguishes this issue within a complex series of subtypes differentiated by calligraphic arrangement and border treatment — differences that matter considerably to specialists working from Rabino's classifications.
