Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Qiran - Fat'h Ali Qajar 1245 (1829) coin from Iran is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and European design elements. The obverse side of the coin depicts a crowned portrait of Fat'h Ali Shah Qajar, the second Qajar king of Iran, surrounded by a wreath of flowers and leaves, while the reverse side features a stylized representation of the Imam Mosque in Isfahan, one of the most famous mosques in Iran. This blend of traditional Islamic architecture and European-style portraiture reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between Iran and Europe during the 19th century.
