Comment
Also spelled Tuman.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Toman coin from Iran made of Gold weighing 3.46g is that it was minted during the reign of Naser al-Din Qajar, who was the Shah of Iran from 1849 to 1864. This coin was a standard circulation coin during his reign and was used as a medium of exchange among the people of Iran. Despite being made of gold, the coin was not very valuable compared to other coins of its time, and its value was equivalent to about 1/4 of a British pound. Today, this coin is a rare collector's item and is highly sought after by numismatists due to its historical significance and the fact that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Iran.
