Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Tumân - Fatḥ Alī Qājār (Type S; Yazd) 1213-1219 (1799-1805) gold coin from Iran is that it was issued during the reign of Fatḥ Alī Qājār, who was the second ruler of the Qajar dynasty and ruled Iran from 1797 to 1834. This coin was part of a new currency system introduced by Fatḥ Alī Qājār in 1801, which replaced the old currency system that had been in use since the Safavid era. The 1 Tumân coin was the highest denomination in the new currency system and was equivalent to 100 dinars. The coin features an inscription in Persian that reads "Fatḥ Alī Qājār, Shahanshah of Iran" and has a diameter of 23 mm.
