Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of traditional Persian design elements and modern European influences, reflecting the cultural exchange and political turmoil of the time. The coin's obverse side features a portrait of Moẓaffar od-Dīn Qājār, the Shah of Iran from 1896 to 1904, while the reverse side depicts a stylized lion and sun motif, which was a common symbol of Persian royalty. The use of silver in the coin's composition also adds to its value and historical significance.
