| Additional information |
Ahmad Shah Qajar ascended the throne at age eleven following his father Mohammad Ali Shah's forced abdication in 1909, and his reign was effectively over before he turned thirty. The 500 Dīnār series issued across his tenure reflects a court that was increasingly ceremonial — the real power had shifted to provincial strongmen and, ultimately, to Reza Khan, whose 1921 coup reduced Ahmad to a figurehead. He left for Europe in 1923 and never returned, deposed in absentia two years later.
The final dates in this series were struck while Ahmad was already in Paris.
