| Beschrijving voorzijde | Uniformed bust of Naser al-Din Shah Qajar facing slightly left, wearing the distinctive tall Qajar crown adorned with a jeweled aigrette at the front. The Shah is depicted in military dress with decorative epaulettes and medal insignia visible on the chest. The portrait is rendered in a naturalistic style characteristic of late Qajar coinage produced under European influence. Arabic inscription appears in the lower field below the bust, reading دو تومان (Two Tomans), denoting the denomination. A fine beaded border encircles the design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Naser al-Din Shah's reign saw repeated attempts to rationalize Persian coinage, but the monetary system remained chaotic through the 1870s and into the 1880s — regional mints struck inconsistently, fineness varied, and clipping was endemic. The toman-based gold issues of this period were as much instruments of court prestige as circulating currency, with many pieces produced specifically for distribution as royal gifts during Nowruz ceremonies.
The KM#941/942 distinction reflects a documented die variation between emission years rather than a change in monetary policy. Tehran mint output for these years was modest, and survivors in unworn condition are not uncommon precisely because so few actually passed through trade.
