Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Tuman - Fath Ali Qajar (Portrait) 1249 (1834) gold coin from Iran is that it was minted during the reign of Fath Ali Shah Qajar, who was the second Shah of the Qajar dynasty and ruled Iran from 1797 to 1834. This coin was part of a new currency system introduced by Fath Ali Shah, which replaced the old currency system that had been in place since the Safavid era. The coin features a portrait of the Shah on one side and an inscription in Persian on the other side, which translates to "Fath Ali Shah, King of Kings, 1249 AH" (1249 AH corresponds to 1834 AD). This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, and its gold content makes it a valuable piece of numismatic history.
