| Reverse description | Central device depicts the Iranian royal emblem: a radiant sun rising behind a lion passant brandishing an upraised sword, surmounted by a crown. The central device is enclosed within a beaded border and surrounded by a laurel and palm wreath tied at the base. The denomination 'یک تومان' (One Toman) appears in the upper field and the date '۱۳۲۱' (AH 1321) appears below the central device; this date is an error — the die was intended to read AH 1312 (1895 AD), making this a notable mule with an inverted and transposed date. |

| Additional information |
KM#933 is a mule — a coin struck from dies that were not intended to be paired together. Qajar minting practice in this period was loosely supervised, and the Tehran mint was known for informal die use, including mismatched obverse and reverse combinations that escaped official detection. Whether this piece resulted from error or deliberate workshop improvisation is a question the record does not settle.
