Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Toman - Moẓaffar od-Dīn Qājār (Pattern) 1316 (1899) from Iran made of Gold plated bronze is that it features a unique blend of traditional Persian motifs and European-style numismatic design. The coin's obverse side features a portrait of Moẓaffar od-Dīn Qājār, the Shah of Iran from 1896 to 1907, surrounded by intricate floral patterns and Arabic script. The reverse side showcases a stylized representation of the Iranian coat of arms, with a lion holding a sword and shield, surrounded by more floral patterns and text. This blend of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between Iran and Europe during the late 19th century, and makes the coin a fascinating piece of numismatic history.
