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 Nasser al-Din Shah Qajar, who was the Shah of Iran from 1848 to 1871. This coin was part of a larger effort by the Shah to modernize and standardize the Iranian currency, which had previously been based on a variety of different coins and bartering systems. The introduction of the 1 Qiran coin helped to establish a more stable and unified monetary system in Iran, and it remains an interesting piece of numismatic history.
