Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Ashrafi - Fath Ali Qajar (Portrait) 1245-1246 (1830-1831) gold coin from Iran is that it was issued during the reign of Fath Ali Shah Qajar, who was the second Qajar king of Iran and ruled from 1797 to 1834. During his reign, Iran faced many challenges, including foreign invasions and internal conflicts, but the issuance of this coin suggests that the country was still capable of producing high-quality currency during this time. Additionally, the fact that the coin is made of gold suggests that Iran had a strong economy and was able to afford the use of this valuable metal in its currency.
