Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Qiran coin from Iran, made of Silver and weighing 5g, is that it features an intricate design on its reverse side, including a stylized representation of the Persian Empire's coat of arms, which consists of a lion and a sun. This design was used during the reign of Nāṣer al-Dīn Qājār (Herāt) between 1269-1279 (1853-1863).
