Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Qiran - Moḥammad Qājār (Type E) 1263 (1847) coin from Iran is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and European influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features a depiction of Mohammad Qajar, the Shah of Iran from 1848 to 1896, in a traditional Persian crown and robes, while the reverse side features a stylized representation of a lion and the sun, which were symbols of the Qajar dynasty. This blend of East and West reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred during the Qajar period, a time of significant political and social change in Iran.
