Interesting fact
The 2 Lariat coin from Maldives, minted during the reign of Muhammad Imaaduddeen VI in 1318-1319 (1901), features a unique blend of Islamic and British colonial influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the inscription "Al-Sultanu Al-Azam" (The Greatest Sultan) in Arabic, while the reverse side features the image of a lariat (a type of rope used for cattle herding) surrounded by a wreath, which was a common motif in British colonial coinage. This blend of styles reflects the complex history and cultural exchange that occurred during the period of British colonial rule in Maldives.
