Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Shahi - Karim Khan Zand (Type B; Esfāhān) 1167 (1754) coin from Iran is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Persian architectural elements on its design. The coin's obverse side features a depiction of a mosque, while the reverse side features a stylized representation of the Imam Mosque in Esfahan, which was built during the Safavid dynasty. This blend of architectural styles reflects the rich cultural heritage of Iran and the influence of Islamic art and architecture on the country's coinage during that time period.
