Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Qiran - Fat'h Ali Qajar (Type E; Kerman) 1241 (1862) coin from Iran is that it features a unique blend of Persian and European design elements. The obverse side of the coin features a portrait of Fat'h Ali Shah Qajar, the second Qajar king of Iran, surrounded by a wreath and the Persian inscription "Fat'h Ali Shah Qajar" in the style of the Qajar dynasty. The reverse side of the coin features a stylized representation of a lion and the sun, which is a common motif in Persian art and symbolism, surrounded by a wreath and the date "1241" in the Islamic calendar. The use of both Persian and European design elements on the coin reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between Iran and Europe during the Qajar period.
