Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Nasser al-Din Shah Qajar, 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 reflects that effort, as it was minted in a standardized format and made of gold, which was a valuable and prestigious metal at the time.
