Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Rial - Fat'h Ali Qajar (Khoy) 1231 (1816) 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 made to increase the coin's value and durability, as silver was a more valuable and durable material than copper or bronze. This choice of material also speaks to the economic and political importance of Iran during the Qajar dynasty, as the use of silver coins was a symbol of wealth and power.
