Comment
Struck only at AstarabadInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Qiran - Naser al-Din Qajar (Astarabad) 1277-1278 (1861-1862) 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 in power at the time, and Naser al-Din Qajar was the Shah of Iran from 1848 to 1896. The coin's minting was likely a response to the growing economic and trade needs of the country, as well as the desire to promote the use of a standardized currency. The use of silver in the coin's production also reflects the value placed on this precious metal at the time.
