Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Tumân coin is that it was issued during the reign of Agha Mohammad Khan, who was the founder of the Qajar dynasty in Iran. He was a powerful leader who brought stability to the country after a period of political turmoil and is remembered for his military campaigns and administrative reforms. The coin's design features an image of the king on one side and an inscription in Persian on the other, which adds to its historical and cultural significance.
