QAJAR: Nasir al-Din Shah, 1848-1896, AR 1/8 qiran (0.71g), AH1274, A-2933.1, KM-821.1, uniface reverse strike, a lustrous nearly mint state example, PCGS graded AU58. Uniface examples were struck on rather broad, wafer-thin flans. These were intended as favors for the New Year celebration and were known as shahi safid, "white shahi," to distinguish them from the copper shahi. Theoretically the shahi safid of type A should weigh 0.67g and type B should weigh 0.62g, but actual specimens vary considerably in weight, so that types A and B cannot be distinguished unless the date is clear, as is virtually never the case. Uniface pieces were struck with either obverse or reverse dies.
