The Kooh-e Noor diamond was looted by Ahmed Beg upon the assassination of Nader Shah of Iran in 1747. Ahmed Beg took the Kooh-e Noor diamond along with other valuable jewels of the Iranian Crown Jewels and left Iran. The gem was later taken to England where the East India Company took possession of it. In 1850 it was presented to Queen Victoria. At present it rests on one of the royal crowns and is kept in the Tower of London. Daryay-E-Noor stayed in Iran to become the diamond of the National Treasury.
