Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Qiran - Fatḥ Alī Qājār (Type E; Qom) 1241-1248 (1826-1833) coin from Iran is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and European design elements. The obverse side of the coin depicts a stylized representation of the Imam Husayn Mosque in Qom, while the reverse side features a crowned lion holding a sword and shield, which is 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.
