Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of significant political and economic change in Iran. The 1830s saw the reign of Mohammad Shah Qajar, who was the Shah of Iran from 1834 to 1848. During his reign, Iran faced challenges such as corruption, tribal unrest, and foreign intervention, which had a significant impact on the country's economy and currency. Despite these challenges, the 1 Fals coin remained a widely used denomination during this time, reflecting the resilience and adaptability of the Iranian people.
