Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Tumân coin is that it was minted during the reign of Nāṣer al-Dīn Qājār, who was the Shah of Iran from 1879 to 1892. During his reign, Iran underwent significant modernization and reform, including the introduction of a new currency system, which replaced the traditional coinage system based on the Tumân. The ½ Tumân coin, made of gold (.900) and weighing 1.4372 g, was part of this new currency system and was used widely in Iran during that time.
