Additional information

Mohammad Ali Shah's reign was already precarious by 1908 — he had bombarded the Majles into submission in June of that year, suspending the constitution and triggering the full outbreak of the Constitutional Revolution. Pattern coinage from this moment exists in a strange liminal space: struck by a government asserting authority it was rapidly losing, for a monetary system it would never fully stabilize. Mohammad Ali was deposed and exiled to Russia in July 1909.

KM#Pn30 pattern status means this design never reached circulation, likely abandoned as the political crisis consumed any administrative bandwidth for monetary reform.
