One interesting fact about the ¼ Rial - Fatḥ Ali Qajar (Type B; Kashan) ND (1797-1834) coin from Iran is that it was minted during the reign of Fatḥ Ali Shah Qajar, who was the second Qajar king of Iran and ruled from 1797 to 1834. This coin was part of a new currency system introduced by Fatḥ Ali Shah, which aimed to replace the old currency system that had been in place since the Safavid era. The ¼ Rial coin was made of silver and weighed 2.60 grams, and it featured an intricate design that included the king's name and title, as well as the date of minting. Despite its small denomination, this coin was an important part of the Iranian economy during that time and was widely used in everyday transactions.
