Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Shahi Sefid - Ahmad Qājār 1335 (1917) coin from Iran is that it was minted during a time of great change and political upheaval in the country. The coin was issued in 1917, just a few years after the Persian Constitutional Revolution of 1906, which established a parliamentary government and limited the power of the monarch. The coin's design, which features an image of Ahmad Qājār, the last Shah of Iran, and the Persian inscription "Shahi Sefid" (meaning "White Shah"), reflects the ongoing influence of the monarchy during this time. Despite the political changes, the coin's silver content and relatively low weight suggest that it was intended for circulation among the general population, rather than being a commemorative coin for a specific event or occasion.
