Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Qiran coin from Iran, made of silver and weighing 5g, is that it was minted during the reign of Nāṣer al-Dīn Qājār (Asterābād) who was the Shah of Iran from 1849-1875. This coin was a standard circulation coin during his reign and features the Shah's name and title in Persian on one side, and a decorative design on the other. The use of silver in the coin's minting was a common practice during this time period, as it was a valued and durable metal.
