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 king, Fatḥ Alī Qājār, wearing a crown and a long beard, while the reverse side features a stylized representation of a lion, which was a common motif in European heraldry at the time. This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex history and cultural exchange that occurred during the Qajar dynasty, which ruled Iran from 1789 to 1925.
