Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Arabic and modernist design elements. The obverse side of the coin features an Arabic inscription in a beautiful calligraphic style, while the reverse side features a stylized image of a flag, which gives the coin a distinctly modern feel. This blend of traditional and modern elements makes the coin a fascinating example of the intersection of art, culture, and history.
