Coins of Persia (1876-1945)
In 1876, following the rest of the world, Persia switched to machine coinage. The first press started working at the Tehran Mint, and all mints in other Persian cities were closed. The commissioning of the only state mint made it possible to issue coins of a single sample for the whole country, a single silver standard, weight and sample, as well as control the amount of cash coming into circulation.
