Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Tuman - Fat'h Ali Qajar (type R; Rasht) 1213 (1799) coin from Iran is that it was made of gold, which was a rare and valuable material at the time. The use of gold in coinage was a symbol of the wealth and power of the Qajar dynasty, which ruled Iran from 1789 to 1925. The fact that this coin was made of gold and had a relatively low denomination of ½ tuman suggests that it was intended for widespread circulation and use in everyday transactions, highlighting the importance of gold as a medium of exchange in the Iranian economy during this period.
