The Pattern 20 Rials coin was designed by the Iranian artist and calligrapher, Mohammad Ebrahim, and it features a unique blend of traditional Persian motifs and modern design elements. The obverse side of the coin depicts the Iranian emblem, which consists of a stylized lion and a rising sun, surrounded by intricate floral patterns. The reverse side features a stylized representation of the Imam Mosque in Esfahan, which is one of the most famous mosques in Iran and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The coin's design is not only visually striking but also symbolically significant, reflecting Iran's rich cultural heritage and its commitment to modernization and progress.
