| Additional information |
Mohammad Shah Qajar ruled during a period of acute fiscal dysfunction, when the central government's inability to standardize provincial minting produced copper falus of wildly inconsistent weight and diameter across different mint cities. KM#796 encompasses this chaos — pieces attributed to the type vary enough that some specialists treat them as distinct local issues rather than a unified royal coinage. The copper supply itself was irregular, drawn from mines whose output fluctuated with tribal disruptions in the northwest.
