Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Jafar Zand Rupee coin is that it was minted during a time of political instability in Iran, with Jafar Zand being one of the many rulers who took power during a period of political upheaval in the late 18th century. Despite this, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and beauty, with intricate designs and calligraphy adorning its surface.
