| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field bears a multi-line Persian inscription in nastaliq script giving the royal titulature of Naser al-Din Shah, surrounded by an ornate wreath of stylized floral and foliate branches forming a circular border. The legends identify the monarch as Sultan Naser al-Din Shah Qajar. The overall composition is characteristic of mid-Qajar calligraphic coin design, with the inscribed field occupying the full face of the coin within the decorative wreath. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Nāṣer al-Dīn Shāh ruled Iran for nearly half a century, but his coinage was chronically inconsistent — weights drifted, fineness varied by mint, and foreign merchants routinely discounted Iranian silver in trade. The 1879–1881 reform issues, struck to a tighter .900 standard, were a direct response to European commercial pressure and the humiliation of Iranian coin being rejected at Ottoman and Indian trading posts.
KM#904 represents one of the cleaner phases of Qājār minting, though Tehran and Tabrīz dies are known to differ in execution quality.
