Very beautiful coin / mint : "dar al-khalifat Teheran".
It is the type E on Zeno; some coins show a large crown like yours: see here

Dear maudry, your coin:
Qajar, Muhammad Shah, 1263 AH, Silver Qiran (Kran), dar al-Khilafat Tehran mint (AH 1254-1264/1834-1848 AD)
Obverse: Sun and lion holding sword left with the Qajar crown on top.
Reverse: inside a decorated square,
شاهنشه انبیا محمد , Shahanshah Anbiya Muhammad (Prophet Muhammad is King of Kings), followed by mint: " ضرب دار الخلافه طهران " , Zarb dar al-Khilafat Tehran; the date " 1263 ۱۲۶۳ " is at the bottom inside the square at 4 O'clock.
Muhammad Shah was the son of Abbas Mirza, Fath 'Ali Shah's son, and Nasir al-din Shah's father.

Coin collecting has a curious name. It is also called the "Hobby of Kings".
