Comment

1293 AH is the year that machine-struck coins of Naser al-Din Shah started.

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. Additionally, the fact that it is made of gold and weighs 3.4525 grams suggests that it may have been a high-value coin at the time of its minting.
