| Additional information |
Khoy, a city in the northwestern Azerbaijan province, functioned as a regional mint under the Qajars during a period of acute geopolitical pressure — this is the territory over which Iran and Russia were actively contesting following the disastrous Treaty of Gulistan in 1813, which ended the first Russo-Persian War and stripped Iran of most of its Caucasian territories. Fath Ali Shah maintained active provincial mints partly as an assertion of administrative reach into areas that remained contested or vulnerable.
The Khoy mint's output was modest and its active periods intermittent, making issues attributable to it scarcer than those of Tehran or Tabriz.
