Comment
Unusual piedfort in that it does not bear the same reverse design of KM#1025, the normal 1/2 toman issue.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Mohammad Ali Qajar, who was the Shah of Iran from 1907 to 1909. He was the first Shah to issue coins with his own portrait, and this coin featuring his image is a rare and valuable collector's item.
