Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the visit of Nāṣer al-Dīn Qājār, the Shah of Iran, to Tehran in 1891. The coin's design features an image of the Shah on one side and an image of the Golestan Palace, where the visit took place, on the other. The coin's mintage was limited to only 10,000 pieces, making it a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists.
