Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Qiran - Fat'h Ali Qajar (Type E; Isfahan) 1241 (1862) coin from Iran is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and European influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features a stylized representation of the Lion and Sun emblem, which was a common motif in Qajar-era coinage, while the reverse side features a depiction of Fat'h Ali Shah Qajar, the ruler of Iran at the time the coin was minted. The combination of these two elements reflects the cultural exchange and blending that occurred during the Qajar period, which saw Iran influenced by both Islamic and European traditions.
