Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Rial - Fath-Ali Qajar 1226 (1811) coin from Iran is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and European design elements. The obverse side of the coin depicts a crowned portrait of Fath-Ali Shah Qajar, the second Qajar king of Iran, surrounded by intricate floral patterns and Arabic script.
