Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Mohammad Shah Qajar, who was the king of Iran from 1840 to 1848. This coin is a rare example of a silver coin minted during his reign, as most coins from this period were made of copper or other base metals. The coin's design features an intricate pattern of floral motifs and Arabic script, which was a common feature of coins from this era. Additionally, the coin's weight and silver content make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in the history of Iranian currency.
