1 Toman - Ahmad Qajar Legend

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.

The .900 fineness follows the standard established under Mozaffar ad-Din Shah's monetary reforms of the 1890s.
