Comment
Also listed as A#2854Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Rial - Fat'h Ali Qajar (Type C; Tehrān) 1212 (1798) coin from Iran is that it was made of silver, which was a significant departure from the usual copper or bronze used for 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 the coin's production also adds to its aesthetic appeal, as it gives the coin a distinctive brightness and shine that is still visible today.
