Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2000 Dīnār - Nāṣer al-Dīn Qājār 1310 (1893) coin from Iran is that it features a unique blend of traditional Persian motifs and European influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a crowned portrait of Nāṣer al-Dīn Qājār, the Shah of Iran from 1848 to 1896, surrounded by a wreath of flowers and leaves, while the reverse side features a stylized representation of the Lion and Sun symbol, which was a common motif in Persian art and architecture. This blend of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between Iran and Europe during the late 19th century.
