Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Toman - Naser al-Din Qajar 1296 (1879) coin from Iran is that it features a unique blend of traditional Persian motifs and European influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features a portrait of Naser al-Din Qajar, the Shah of Iran from 1848 to 1896, surrounded by intricate floral patterns and Arabic script. The reverse side depicts a stylized representation of the Iranian coat of arms, with a lion holding a sword and shield, surrounded by more floral patterns and calligraphy. This blend of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between Iran and Europe during the Qajar dynasty, and makes the coin a fascinating piece of numismatic history.
