| Additional information |
Khoy, situated in the northwestern corner of Iran near the Ottoman frontier, operated as a semi-autonomous issuing authority for copper coinage during the late Zand or early Qajar transitional period — the precise political moment this falus falls into remains debated among specialists. Anonymous municipal copper of this type circulated strictly at the local level, its acceptance rarely extending beyond the immediate region. Album 3243 covers a loose confederation of city issues that share little beyond their anonymity and their copper fabric.
