Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Ashrafi - Ahmad Qajar 1337 (1919) coin from Iran is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in the country. The Ahmad Qajar dynasty was the last ruling dynasty of Iran, and Ahmad Shah Qajar, who ruled from 1909 to 1925, was the last Shah of Iran. This coin was minted in 1919, just a few years before the Qajar dynasty was overthrown and the Pahlavi dynasty took over. This coin is a piece of history that represents a significant time of change and transition in Iran.
