Comment
As type C but without the evocation ya Mohammad (یا محمد), issued during the revolt of Ahmad Khan Donboli in Iranian Azerbaijan. It appears that Ahmad Khan introduced the Rial denomination in 1204, adopted by Agha Muhammad Khan at all his mints beginning about 1206. The origin of the Rial standard remains undetermined, but the name derives from the Spanish real.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of political turmoil in Iran, specifically during the Qajar Rebellion, which was a period of great instability and conflict in the country. Despite this, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and beauty, with intricate designs and calligraphy that reflect the rich cultural heritage of Iran.
