is the photo attached? I can not see it. There are many iranin coins with lion and sun from 600 years ago until now.

 

Thanks for replying - hmmm I can see the pictures. I didn't attach them but added the image through tinypic. I'll also try to attach them. I think this coin is pretty old. Maybe 16th-17th C - ?? I don't know.

 

I was just doing my own research - Could it be this? Way older than I thought though

 

The actual date is about 1853 in the Gregorian calendar.

 

That date makes more sense LOL! Though I thought at first perhaps it was a bit older -it does look like the style for that era.

Thank you for clearing that up for me.

 

Yes, it is an Iranian civic copper. I can't seem to read the date on your specimen though (but I'm not terribly good with these yet), but certainly c. AD 1850.
