1835 * Marriage of Bahá'u'lláh *

In 1835 Baháʼu'lláh married Ásíyih Khánum (K͟hánum is a title usually given to a Persian lady and is equivalent to madam). She was given the title Navváb, meaning Most Exalted Leaf. Baháʼu'lláh and Ásíyih Khánum became known as the Father of the Poor and the Mother of Consolation for their extraordinary generosity and regard for the impoverished.

Navváb became the mother of 'Abdu'l-Bahá (the Mightiest Branch), Bahíyyih (The Greatest Holy Leaf), and Mirzá Mihdíh (the Purest Branch) ..... Baháʼu'lláh, Navváb, and their children are known as the Holy Family in the Baháʼí Faith.

Bahá'u'lláh and Navváb were married 50 years, until her passing in 1886, thus the desire for a coin with a grade of AU50. :-)
