Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Toman - Fat'h Ali Qajar (Type S1; Lahijan) 1213 (1798) gold coin from Iran is that it was minted during the reign of Fat'h Ali Shah Qajar, who was the second Qajar king of Iran and ruled from 1797 to 1834. This coin was part of a new currency system introduced by Fat'h Ali Shah, which replaced the old Safavid-era currency with a new system based on the toman, a unit of currency that was equivalent to 10,000 dinars. The coin features an image of the king on one side and an inscription in Persian on the other side, and it was minted in the city of Lahijan in northern Iran.
