Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Toman - Naser al-Din Qajar 1264 (1848) 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 a wreath of flowers and leaves, while the reverse side depicts a stylized representation of the Sun Throne, a symbol of the Iranian monarchy, surrounded by intricate floral patterns and Arabic script. This blend of East and West reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred during the Qajar dynasty, which ruled Iran from 1789 to 1925.
