Beschrijving voorzijde Central field occupied by a multi-line Persian nastaliq inscription giving the royal titulature of Fath Ali Shah Qajar, reading 'Al-Sultan ibn al-Sultan Fath Ali Shah Qajar.' The calligraphy is executed in an elegant, flowing nastaliq hand with decorative floral rosette ornaments interspersed throughout the legend. The entire design is contained within a plain inner border and surrounded by a bold beaded outer border. The irregular flan and hand-struck technique give the coin a characteristic organic outline typical of Qajar-era hammered gold coinage.

Aanvullende informatie

Fat'h Ali Shah's gold tomans were the prestige coinage of the Qajar court, struck at a moment when the dynasty was simultaneously fighting two losing wars against Russia — the First Russo-Persian War would end in 1813 with the Treaty of Gulistan, stripping Iran of Georgia and much of the Caucasus. Tabriz, as the seat of Crown Prince Abbas Mirza and the administrative capital of Azerbaijan province, was the mint closest to that front.

The "Type U" designation within KM#745 reflects one of several die configurations used across Qajar mints, distinguished primarily by calligraphic arrangement rather than any change in monetary policy or metal standard.
