Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Rial - Fat'h Ali Qajar (Type D; Shiraz) 1239 (1824) coin from Iran is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Persian architectural elements on its reverse side. The coin's design includes intricate patterns and calligraphy that reflect the cultural and artistic influences of the Qajar dynasty, which ruled Iran from 1789 to 1925. The coin's silver content and relatively low weight also make it a notable piece in the history of Iranian coinage.
