One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 2 Lari "Bodu" - Hassan Nooraddeen I (year in 3rd line) 1201 (1787) from Maldives made of Billon weighing 9.60 g is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Maldivian cultural influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the inscription "Al-Sultanu al-Azam" (The Greatest Sultan) in Arabic, reflecting the Islamic tradition of the Maldivian people, while the reverse side features a stylized image of a coconut tree, which is a symbol of prosperity and economic importance in Maldivian culture. This blend of cultural influences makes the coin a fascinating piece of numismatic history.
