Interesting fact

The Pattern 500 Dinar coin was minted during the reign of Mohammad Ali Qajar, who was the Shah of Iran from 1907 to 1909. The coin was part of a series of pattern coins minted during his reign, which were intended to replace the existing currency system in Iran. The coin features a portrait of Mohammad Ali Qajar on one side and an image of a lion on the other, symbolizing the strength and power of the Qajar dynasty. However, the coin was never officially released into circulation and remains a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
