Comment
Transitional pattern with mint epithet Dar al-Marz.Between AH1293 and 1296, modern machine-made coinage was introduced into Iran at the Tehran mint, while around this same time several Iranian mints struck old style hammered transitional or "pattern" types. The remaining provincial mints were closed down gradually between AH1292 and 1295.
The reverse of this piece is very similar to the last regular issue of Rasht with the toughra form of the mint name, struck in AH1291-92.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Qiran - Naser al-Din Qajar (Rasht) 1289 (1872) from Iran made of Silver is that it features a unique blend of traditional Persian motifs and European-style numismatic design, reflecting the cultural exchange and influence of the Qajar dynasty's era.
