Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Reza Shah Pahlavi, who was the first shah of Iran and ruled from 1925 to 1941. He implemented many modernizing reforms during his reign, including the creation of a new currency, the rial, which replaced the traditional currency of Iran, the qiran. The 2 rial coin was one of the denominations introduced during this time, and it features an image of Reza Shah on one side and the Iranian coat of arms on the other.
