This specimen was lot 4159 in Sincona sale 67 (Zürich, October 2020), where it sold for 50 CHF (about US$66 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"IRAN | Qajar Dynasty | Nâsir al-dîn Shâh, 1264-1313 H./1848-1896 AD, Machine struck coinage, always with the mint name Tihrân, silver coins. Shahi sefid "13" only. Title and name in wreath, the mint at bottom, rev. lion and sun in wreath, the date below. Good very fine."
