Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Nāṣer al-Dīn Qājār, who was the Shah of Iran from 1848 until his death in 1896. He was known for his efforts to modernize Iran and introduce Western-style reforms, and this coin may have been minted as part of those efforts to promote Iran's economy and trade.
