KM#Pn9 designates this as a pattern strike, not a circulation issue — Naser ad-Din Shah had in fact been assassinated in 1896, making a 1902 coin bearing his name a retrospective or trial piece produced under his successor Mozaffar ad-Din. Pattern coinage from the Iranian mint of this period was often produced to test dies or denominations under consideration, and pieces attributed to deceased rulers were not uncommon during transitional monetary negotiations with European advisors pushing for modernized coinage standards.
