Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Shahi - Nāṣer al-Dīn Qājār (mule) 1305 (1888) coin from Iran is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and European design elements. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of a crowned lion, which is a common motif in European heraldry, while the reverse side features an inscription in Persian script and a stylized depiction of a sun, which is a common element in Islamic art. This blending of design styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between Europe and Iran during the late 19th century.
