Interesting fact
The 5 Dinar coin from Iran featuring Reza Pahlavi 1314 (1935) was the first coin to bear the image of a reigning monarch in Iran since the ancient Achaemenid Empire. This was a significant departure from the traditional Islamic design used on coins in Iran, which typically featured calligraphic inscriptions and avoided depictions of human figures. The introduction of a monarch's image on the coinage was seen as a symbol of the country's shift towards modernization and secularization under the rule of Reza Shah Pahlavi.
