| Additional information |
Ahmad Shah acceded to the Qajar throne in 1909 at age eleven, following his father Mohammad Ali Shah's forced abdication under pressure from constitutionalist forces. Pattern issues from the early years of his reign reflect the instability of the mint's production planning — designs were tested and rejected as the government lurched between foreign financial control and nationalist resistance. The Anglo-Persian Agreement of 1919 was still years away, but British and Russian interference in Iranian fiscal affairs was already shaping which coin projects advanced and which were abandoned at the pattern stage.
