| Additional information |
The fractional toman denominations of Ahmad Shah's reign were struck in quantities just sufficient to satisfy ceremonial and gift-giving conventions at court — practical circulation was never really the point. Ahmad himself was the last Qajar shah, deposed by Reza Khan in 1925 after a reign marked by foreign interference, the Anglo-Persian Agreement of 1919, and a monarch too weak or too uninterested to hold the dynasty together.
Fr#83 places this squarely in Friedberg's Persian gold listings, where the series is noted for inconsistent die alignment across the reign's span.
