The
qiran (قران), also
qerun or
kran, was a currency of
Iran between 1825 and 1932. It was subdivided into 20
shahi or 1000
dinar and was worth one tenth of a
toman. The
rial replaced the kran at par in 1932, although it was divided into one hundred (new)
dinars. The qiran is no longer an official denomination but the term still enjoys wide usage among Iranians.
