Comment
According to Album, the type was struck from 1217-1221 at various mints, so other dates may exist for Tehran.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Toman - Fat'h Ali Qajar (type S2; Tehran) 1217 (1802) gold 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 Persian king, Fat'h Ali Qajar, wearing a crown and a beard, while the reverse side features an intricate floral pattern that is reminiscent of European coins from the same era. This blending of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between Iran and Europe during the 19th century.
