Comment
Transitional pattern without mint epithet;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 variety is different.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Qiran - Naser al-Din Qajar (Tehran) 1295-1296 (1878-1879) from Iran made of Silver is that it was minted during a time of significant political and economic change in Iran. 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. This coin was minted during his reign, and it reflects the cultural and economic influences of the time. The use of silver in the coin's minting was likely a result of the country's rich silver deposits and the desire to create a currency that was both valuable and durable.
