Comment
Piedfort of about triple weight of KM#1070 (see link)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Ahmad Qajar, the last ruler of the Qajar dynasty, who was known for his efforts to modernize Iran. Despite being minted in 1921, the coin still features the traditional Persian calendar year of 1339, highlighting the blend of old and new that characterized Iran's transition into the 20th century.
