Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of traditional Persian motifs and modern 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 1894 to 1896, surrounded by intricate floral patterns and Arabic script. The reverse side features a stylized representation of a lion, a symbol of power and strength in Persian culture, holding a shield with the Iranian coat of arms. The use of silver in the coin's composition adds to its value and rarity, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
