| Beschrijving voorzijde | Uniformed bust of Mohammad Ali Shah Qajar facing slightly left, wearing a military tunic with epaulettes and a decorative aigrette-plumed karakul cap. The portrait is set within a beaded inner circle, surrounded by a Persian legend in Arabic script. The date 1326 (AH) appears in the lower field below the bust. The engraving reflects the academic European-influenced portrait style adopted by late Qajar court mints. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Mohammad Ali Shah came to power in 1907 and almost immediately moved to dismantle the constitutional government his father Mozaffar ad-Din Shah had reluctantly granted. In June 1908 — the same year this coin was struck — he ordered the Cossack Brigade to shell the Majles building in Tehran, suspending the constitution and arresting or executing key constitutionalists. His reign lasted only until July 1909, when Bakhtiari tribal forces and northern constitutionalist militias marched on Tehran and deposed him.
The brevity of his rule makes gold issues from this period scarce in any quantity. He died in exile in San Remo in 1925.
