Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of political and economic turmoil in Iran. The 1228 (1813) mintage was during the reign of Fath-Ali Shah Qajar, who was facing challenges from both internal and external forces, including the Russo-Persian War and the rise of the Babi movement. Despite these challenges, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and beauty, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of Iran.
