| Additional information |
The "Kashverestan" designation on this type refers to the mint at Qazvin, one of several provincial mints operating under Fath-Ali Shah's decentralized coinage system. Qajar monetary administration in this period was anything but uniform — individual governors often controlled local mint output, creating substantial variation in weight and fineness across nominally identical issues. Qazvin's position on the major trade route between Tehran and Tabriz gave its mint consistent commercial relevance well into the 1830s.
KM#759.8 sits within a large family of provincial Toman varieties distinguished primarily by mint epithet. The Qazvin epithet "Kashverestan" — roughly meaning "land of cultivation" — appears across multiple reign dates from this mint.
