Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of traditional Persian motifs and modern European influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a crowned portrait of Nasser al-Din Shah Qajar, the ruler of Iran at the time, surrounded by a wreath of flowers and leaves, while the reverse side features a stylized representation of a lion and a sun, which are symbols of power and prosperity in Persian culture. The use of silver in the coin's composition also adds to its value and rarity, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
