Nāṣer al-Dīn Shāh's copper coinage of this period was plagued by persistent problems with the Tehran and Tabriz mints struggling to maintain consistent planchet quality, producing notoriously uneven strikes across the entire 1880s run. The Qājār monetary system was under external pressure throughout this decade — the Shah had already sold telegraph and lottery concessions to foreign interests, and the 1872 Reuter Concession debacle had destabilized confidence in Iranian financial institutions for years afterward.
KM#887 is frequently found off-center, a direct consequence of hand-fed planchet positioning at the Tehran facility.
