Comment
Mint: Savojbolagh (also known by its current name Mahabad)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Falus - Fat'h Ali Qajar (Savojbolagh) 1230 (1815) coin from Iran is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and European influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features a stylized depiction of the Lion and Sun symbol, which was a common motif in Iranian coinage during the Qajar period. However, the reverse side of the coin features a depiction of a crowned portrait of Fat'h Ali Shah Qajar, which was a departure from the traditional Islamic coinage designs that did not feature human images. This blending of styles reflects the cultural and political influences of the time, and makes the coin a fascinating piece of numismatic history.
