Comment

Transitional pattern with mint epithet Dar al-Mu 'minin;
Between AH1293 and 1296, modern machine-made coinage was introduced into Iran at the Tehran mint, while around this same time several Iranian mints struck old style hammered transitional or "pattern" types. The remaining provincial mints were closed down gradually between AH1292 and 1295.
