Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Larin - Hasan 'Izz ud-din 1173 (1760) from Maldives made of Billon weighing 4.80 g is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Maldivian cultural influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the inscription "Al-Sultanu al-Azam" (The Greatest Sultan) in Arabic, reflecting the Islamic tradition of the Maldivian people, while the reverse side features a stylized depiction of a coconut tree, which is a symbol of the Maldives' lush tropical environment and a vital source of resources for the island nation. This blend of cultural and natural elements makes the coin a fascinating piece of numismatic history.
