Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of two different rulers' portraits on its obverse side. The coin was issued during the reign of Moẓaffar od-Dīn Qājār, but it also bears the portrait of his predecessor, Naser al-Din Shah Qajar, who had passed away a few years earlier. This is known as a "mule issue" and is considered a rare and interesting variation in numismatics.
