| Additional information |
Mohammad Ali Shah took the throne in January 1907 and almost immediately set about dismantling the constitutional gains his father Mozaffar ad-Din had conceded. By June 1908 he used Cossack Brigade troops under Russian officer Vladimir Liakhov to bombard the Majles building in Tehran — the so-called coup against the constitutionalists. This coin was struck in that same year of violent political rupture.
The KM#Pn29 designation marks it as a pattern issue, not a circulating strike. Whether it was suppressed, rejected, or simply never advanced to full production is unrecorded.
