The rial was the currency of Persia from 1798 to 1825 and of Iran since 1932. The rial first became the derivative currency of Iran (at that time Persia) in 1798. Rials were introduced as coins with ...a denomination of 1250 dinars (bargaining unit) or 1/8 fog (basic unit). In 1825, the rial ceased to be issued and until 1932 the currency of Iran was the Persian fog. The peculiarity of Iranian coins is that they are dated according to the Solar Hijri. Compared to the Gregorian calendar, there is a lag of 622 years. So, 1390 p. Hijri correspond to the year 2011 of our calendar. In addition, the coins of the Shah period are dated both according to the Hijri and according to the so-called Monarchic solar year, which is ahead by 559 years.
