Fath Ali Shah's qiran coinage was a chaotic affair by the 1820s, with dozens of provincial mints operating under inconsistent supervision and producing coins that varied wildly in weight and fineness. Tuyserkan, a small town in what is now Hamadan Province, was among the minor mints pressed into service during this period — its output was limited and its coins rarely traveled far from the region. KM#710 type E reflects one of several die revisions made across the reign as the central government made intermittent, largely unsuccessful attempts to standardize the silver coinage.
