Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Nāṣer al-Dīn Qājār, who was the Shah of Iran from 1848 until his death in 1896. He was known for his efforts to modernize Iran and introduce Western-style reforms, which had a significant impact on the country's economy and culture. The coin itself is a reflection of this modernization, as it was minted with a standardized design and made of gold, which was a valuable and prestigious metal at the time.
