Trial strikes of this denomination were produced as the newly crowned Reza Shah worked to overhaul Iran's monetary system following his 1925 coronation, part of a broader administrative modernization that replaced the Qajar-era currency framework. The transition was not smooth — existing coin dies, mint contracts, and even the physical state of the Tehran mint required substantial reorganization before regular production could begin.
KM#Pn46 documents this piece as a pattern or trial, meaning it never entered circulation and survives in extremely limited numbers. Most Iranian trial strikes from this transitional period ended up in government or diplomatic hands rather than public channels.
