| Additional information |
Moẓaffar od-Dīn became Shah in 1896 following the assassination of his father Nāṣer od-Dīn, who had ruled for nearly half a century. The transition was not smooth — Moẓaffar od-Dīn inherited a treasury gutted by his father's extravagance and a court riddled with factional debt. This 1897 issue falls in his first regnal year, before the foreign loans from Russia that would later define — and destabilize — his reign.
The Tumân at .900 fine was the standard gold unit of Qajar monetary reckoning, though chronic shortfalls in mint output meant many denominations circulated unevenly across the provinces.
