1 Toman - Fat'h Ali Qajar Shiraz mint, type W

Fat'h Ali Shah's gold tomans present one of the more complex attribution problems in Islamic numismatics — the Shiraz mint operated under shifting regional governors throughout this period, and output quality varied considerably depending on who controlled the city's finances in a given year. The type W designation within KM#753 reflects die classification work done to distinguish the overlapping lion-and-sun reverse varieties that Shiraz produced in parallel with Tehran and Tabriz.

Fat'h Ali's reign saw Persia lose two wars to Russia, culminating in the 1813 Treaty of Gulistan, which stripped territory and imposed indemnities that strained the treasury precisely when these coins were being struck.
