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 Nāṣer al-Dīn Qājār, the Shah of Iran from 1848 to 1896, surrounded by a wreath of flowers and leaves, while the reverse side features a stylized representation of the Iranian coat of arms, consisting of a lion holding a sword and a shield with the Persian emblem of the sun and the crown, all surrounded by intricate floral patterns. This fusion of traditional Persian art and European-style heraldry reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred during the Qajar dynasty, which ruled Iran from 1789 to 1925.
