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 may have been minted as part of those efforts. Additionally, the fact that it is made of silver and has a relatively high weight suggests that it may have been intended as a high-value coin, possibly used for large transactions or as a symbol of wealth and status.
