A similar coin was sold in Todywalla Auctions, 2014, auction 88, lot 221. Here it was suggested that this may have been a special issue to mark an occasion such as the Persian New Year or the Emperor's birthday darbar. Having inspected the rim, the present cataloguer feels it may have been struck as a medallic issue.
