Interesting fact
The 2 Rials coin from Iran, featuring Mohammad Rezā Pahlavī, has an interesting fact: it was the first coin in the world to use the AH (Anno Hegirae) era, which is based on the Islamic calendar, instead of the traditional AD (Anno Domini) era used in the Gregorian calendar. This coin was minted in 1977-1978, and it marks a significant shift in Iran's history, as it moved away from the traditional Western-based dating system to an Islamic-based system.
