Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Qiran - Fatḥ Alī Qājār (Type E; Borujerd) 1241-1248 (1826-1833) coin from Iran is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and European design elements. The coin's obverse side features a depiction of the Iranian ruler, Fatḥ Alī Qājār, in a traditional Islamic style, while the reverse side features a stylized representation of a lion, which was a common motif in European heraldry. This blending of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between Iran and Europe during the 19th century.
