Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Fatḥ Alī Qājār, who was the second ruler of the Qajar dynasty in Iran. He ruled from 1797 to 1834 and was known for his efforts to modernize Iran and promote trade and commerce. The coin's design reflects this focus on modernization, with its use of a modern portrait of the ruler and a stylized depiction of the Persian lion on the reverse.
