| Additional information |
Naser al-Din Shah ruled Iran for nearly half a century, and his court used large-denomination gold presentation pieces as diplomatic gifts and marks of royal favor rather than circulating currency. This 25 Toman was never intended for commerce — pieces of this weight moved through courtly channels, not bazaars. The "restrike" designation matters here: official restrikes were produced from original or reworked dies, almost certainly at the Tehran mint, and the precise window for those strikes remains a subject of genuine dispute among specialists in Qajar coinage.
