The 420 grains is the weight of the coin. The 900 fine means it is composed of 90% silver. These coins, first issued in 1873 and called "Trade Dollars", were to be circulated in the Far East to compete with the Mexican equivalent of the dollar and were not intended for use in domestic trade although they were. Congress revoked their legal tender status in the U.S. in 1876 although they were minted in numbers until 1878. After 1878 only proof coins were struck and in 1887 the law which authorized the Trade Dollar was repealed and no more were minted.
