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 (1848-1878), who was the Shah of Iran from 1848 until his death in 1896. During his reign, Iran underwent significant modernization and reform, including the creation of a new currency system, which replaced the traditional silver-based currency with a gold-based currency. This coin, minted in 1264-1295 (1848-1878), was part of that new currency system and features the Shah's name and title in Persian on one side, and a decorative design on the other.
