| Additional information |
Mozaffar al-Din Shah came to the throne in 1896 after the assassination of his father Naser al-Din, but this tuman predates his reign — it was struck in his name as crown prince and governor of Azerbaijan, a practice the Qajar dynasty used to establish monetary authority in provincial territories. The Tabriz mint produced coins under his governorship before he ever sat on the Peacock Throne.
His eventual reign would be defined by the 1906 Constitutional Revolution, which forced Iran's first constitution from him on his deathbed. He signed it five days before he died.
