Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and European design elements. The coin's obverse side features Arabic script and a depiction of the Shahada, while the reverse side features a crowned portrait of Jafer Quli Khan, a nod to European coinage traditions. This fusion of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influences that existed between the East and the West during the 19th century.
