Moẓaffar od-Dīn became Shah in 1896 following the assassination of his father Nāṣer od-Dīn, and early gold coinage of his reign carries overstamped or re-dated dies as the Tehran mint scrambled to transition production. The stamped date on this 10 Tumân reflects that administrative lag — physically punching a new date into existing dies rather than cutting fresh ones was common practice at the mint during reign transitions.
KM#1000 is among the heavier gold issues of Qājār coinage, and Moẓaffar od-Dīn's reign would later become financially ruinous: two European loans negotiated between 1900 and 1902 mortgaged Iranian customs revenues to Russian and British creditors.
