Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Falus - Nasir al-Din Shah (Tehran) 1283 (1867) from Iran made of Copper weighing 8 g is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and European influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features a depiction of Nasir al-Din Shah, the Shah of Iran from 1848 to 1896, dressed in traditional Islamic attire, while the reverse side features a stylized representation of a lion, a common motif in European heraldry. This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex history and cultural exchange that occurred during the Qajar dynasty, which ruled Iran from 1789 to 1925.
