Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Rial - Fatḥ Alī Qājār (Type A; Rikab) 1213 (1799) coin from Iran is that it was made of silver, which was a significant departure from the usual copper or bronze used in coinage at the time. This decision to use silver was likely influenced by the country's economic and political circumstances, as well as the desire to create a coin that would be perceived as valuable and prestigious. The use of silver in this coin reflects the importance placed on the currency and the efforts of the government to establish a strong and stable economy.
