Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Qiran coin from Iran, made of Silver and weighing 5g, is that it features an intricate design on its reverse side, including a stylized representation of a lion and a sun, which are symbols of power and light, respectively. The lion is depicted standing on its hind legs, with its front paws raised, as if ready to pounce, while the sun is shown shining brightly behind it. This design not only adds aesthetic value to the coin but also reflects the cultural and mythological beliefs of the time.
