Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1000 Dinar - Mozaffar al-Din Qajar (Pattern) 1319 (1902) from Iran is that it was designed by a French engraver named Charles Moreau, who was commissioned by the Iranian government to create a new coinage system for the country. This coin, made of gold and weighing 7.25 grams, was intended to be used as a standard unit of currency, but it was ultimately never widely circulated due to the political instability of the time. Despite this, the coin remains a valuable collector's item and a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Iran.
