Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Toman - Fat'h Ali Qajar 1213 (1798) coin from Iran is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and European design elements. The obverse side of the coin depicts a stylized representation of the Imam Husayn Mosque in Tehran, while the reverse side features a crowned lion holding a shield with the Iranian coat of arms. This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex history and cultural exchange that occurred during the Qajar dynasty, which ruled Iran from 1789 to 1925.
