Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Qiran - Moḥammad Qājār (Type E) 1258-1263 (1842-1847) coin from Iran is that it was minted during a time of significant political and economic change in the country. The Qajar dynasty, which ruled Iran from 1789 to 1925, was known for its efforts to modernize and secularize the country, and the coinage of this period reflects some of these changes. The use of silver in the coin's composition, for example, was a departure from the traditional use of copper in earlier Iranian coinage, and the introduction of new minting techniques and designs during this period helped to standardize the country's currency.
