Comment
Also listed as A#2880Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Fatḥ Alī Qājār, who was the second ruler of the Qajar dynasty in Iran. He ruled from 1797 to 1834 and his reign saw significant political and economic changes in Iran, including the introduction of new coinage systems and the modernization of the country's infrastructure. The coin , which was minted in Esfāhān between 1808 and 1812, is a rare example of the silver coins that were minted during Fatḥ Alī Qājār's reign and is highly sought after by collectors today.
