Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Toman coin from Iran made of Gold (.900) weighing 1.49 g is that it was minted during the reign of Naser al-Din Qajar, who was the Shah of Iran from 1881 until his death in 1896. This coin was a standard circulation coin during his reign and was made of gold, which was a valuable and prestigious metal at the time. The fact that it was minted during a specific historical period and made of a valuable material makes it an interesting piece for collectors and historians.
