Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Qiran - Nāṣer al-Dīn Qājār 1296 (1879) 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 the coin's design reflects the influence of European styles and technologies that were being introduced to Iran during this period. The coin's silver content and 5g weight were also unusual for coins of that time, indicating that it was intended to be a high-value denomination.
