Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Husayn 'Ali Shah, who was the ruler of the Qajar dynasty in Iran from 1834 to 1848. This coin is a rare example of a silver coin minted during his reign, as most coins from this period were made of copper or other base metals. The fact that it was minted in the city of Shiraz, which was a major cultural and economic center in Iran at the time, adds to its historical significance.
