Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Fatḥ Alī Qājār, who was the second Shah of the Qajar dynasty in Iran. He ruled from 1797 until his death in 1834, and his reign saw significant political and economic changes in Iran, including the introduction of new currency and the modernization of the country's infrastructure. This coin, minted in 1827, is a tangible representation of that era and its cultural and historical significance.
