Interesting fact
The Mohammad Ali Qajar coin was designed by the French engraver, Charles Pillet, who was commissioned by the Iranian government to create a new currency for the country. Pillet's design featured a portrait of Mohammad Ali Qajar, the Shah of Iran at the time, and was intended to be used on a variety of coins, including the 1000 dinar piece. However, due to political instability and financial difficulties, the coin was never officially released into circulation, making it a rare and highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
