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 coinage systems and the expansion of trade and commerce. This coin, with its unique design and gold content, is a valuable piece of Iranian history and a testament to the country's rich cultural heritage.
