Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ½ Qiran coin from Iran, made of Silver and weighing 2.4 g, is that it was minted during the reign of Nasir al-Din Shah Qajar, who was the Shah of Iran from 1855 until his death in 1879. This coin was part of a larger series of coins minted during his reign, which included other denominations such as the 1 Qiran, 2 Qiran, and 5 Qiran coins. The coin features an intricate design that includes a crowned portrait of Nasir al-Din Shah on one side and an ornate floral pattern on the other. The coin's silver content and unique design make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in the history of Iranian currency.
