| Additional information |
Ahmad Shah ascended the Qajar throne in 1909 at age eleven, following his father Mohammad Ali Shah's forced abdication under pressure from constitutionalist forces. The 1329–1330 dating places this issue squarely in the regency period, when the young shah was nominally sovereign but real authority rested with regent Azud al-Mulk. Iranian gold coinage of this period circulated alongside a badly debased silver supply, giving small gold pieces like the 1 Toman genuine transactional utility rather than ceremonial function.
The .900 fineness follows the standard established under Mozaffar ad-Din Shah's monetary reforms of the 1890s.
