Coming up with a year 1273, but that's some odd Arabic year, I think it might be AD 1856??
The number is 10 and the denomination is Rial. I THINK.
Will check out Ottoman Empire.

I wonder if Iran would use Arabic on its coins, currency, or an other symbol.

Because they are muslim, they would be reading, praying in Arabic since the Quran is not supposed to be translated, I believe.

It's from 1983 or 1362 in Iranian solar years.

Look up Arabic numerals: the date is a slash (1), king cobra (3), victor (6), cobra (2).

It's advertising for CLK man's print shop. One free silk screening of Ahmedinajad

Are Arabic and Persian Related?

The Arabic and Persian language are not related etymologically. According to Professor Windfuhr, “Arabic is a Semitic language like Hebrew; Persian is an Indo-European language like English, French, Greek, Russian, or Hindi.”
However, Arabic and Persian do share an alphabet or script. Professor Windfuhr explains why: “Wherever our religion originates, we use that script. We here [in the Western world] use Latin because of the Roman church, that originally Christianized us; the Russians use a variant of the Greek alphabet of the Byzantine Christian church, and Persians use the Arabic script because Islam originated in Arabic speaking and writing Mekka.”
In addition, roughly 50% of today’s Persian lexicon is of Arabic origin, not only in writing but also in everyday speech. According to Professor Windfuhr, this is due to the dominance of Arabic in religious and scholarly writing for so many centuries, much the way Latin dominated the languages of medieval Europe. Professor Windfuhr compares the Arabic influence to the Romance lexical component in English. “So,” he says, “while unrelated to Arabic, Persian shares a lot with Arabic.”
While there may be confusion among many in the western world over the relationship between Arabic and Persian (Farsi), the fact to keep in mind is that these two languages are only connected by region and a common script. They have separate roots and origins. However, due to a shared religion (Islam) of the speakers, they also share a writing system and some words.

Persian and Farsi, as LaRondo pointed out, are two entirely different languages. I'm actually about to start an Arabic class
