| Additional information |
Naser al-Din Shah's later gold issues from the Kirmanshahan mint are considerably scarcer than their Tehran counterparts — Kirmanshahan functioned as a regional mint serving western Iran and saw nothing close to the production volumes of the capital. By 1892, the Shah's reign was entering its final years before his assassination in 1896, and the provincial mints were operating intermittently at best. Fr#49 is listed without a firm mintage figure for good reason.
