| Additional information |
Fat'h Ali Shah's reign produced an exceptional volume of silver coinage across dozens of active provincial mints, with each mint authorized to strike its own dies — meaning no two mint's output is quite identical in execution. Kerman, operating in the southeastern reaches of the empire near the Afghan frontier, was a commercially active mint whose output served trade routes connecting the Persian interior to Baluchistan and Sindh. The 1241 AH date places this piece in the middle decades of his reign, well before the dynastic instability that would follow his death in 1834.
