Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and European influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features a stylized depiction of the Persian lion and sun emblem, while the reverse side bears the name of the ruler, Fatḥ Alī Qājār, in a curved line above the denomination. This blending of cultural motifs reflects the complex history and cultural exchange that occurred during the Qajar dynasty, which ruled Iran from 1789 to 1925.
