“…A document shown issuance of an order to import silver coins from London during the minting of machine-struck coins related to this king directly refers to this issue (Document ID 240/10362-Iran National Document Archive). The low amount of iron (0.01-0.1) shown in some samples in Table 2 is probably the source of external contamination such as dust on the surface of the coins 19 . The rest of the elements do not provide a specific pattern in relation to the subject.…”

Numismatic data has always had a special place in archaeological studies. So, these documents can provide researchers with a wide range of information based on the focused point of research. The quality and quantity of elements used in coin metal can be restored by archaeometric studies. Some of these elements, such as silver, lead, copper and gold, indicate the monetary policies and metallurgy of their minting time. In this research, for the first time, 25 samples of coins in Ghajar periods were analyzed by the fast and non-destructive PIXE method with different minting techniques, and the percentage of main elements of these coins (silver, copper, lead, gold, iron, chlorine, calcium) were obtained. The results showed that silver is the mould element in this coinage and its amount is slightly different in hammering and milled coinages. Over time, the Qajars were able to gain more control over monetary policies. Also, the presence of small amounts of lead in most of the coins showed that the separation of elements has been done well by silver. And in this era, various sources have been used to supply the necessary silver for minting.

“…Considering the historical and/or arteficial significance of each artefact, it seems logical to use, as far as possible, non-destructive analytical methods (Guerra 1998;Kashani et al 2013a;2013b;Sodaei, Kashani 2013) (Figure 6). …”
