One interesting fact about the 1 Rial - Fat'h Ali Qajar (Kashan) 1216 (1802) coin from Iran is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Persian architectural elements on its design. The obverse side of the coin showcases the bust of Fat'h Ali Shah Qajar, the second Qajar king of Iran, surrounded by intricate floral patterns and Arabic calligraphy. The reverse side features a stunning depiction of the Imam Mosque in Kashan, a prominent example of Safavid-era architecture in Iran. This blend of Islamic and Persian influences reflects the rich cultural heritage of Iran during the Qajar period.
