Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Tumân - Fatḥ Alī Qājār (Type W; Qazvīn) 1231-1240 (1816-1825) gold coin from Iran is that it was minted during the reign of Fatḥ Alī Shah 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 Shah, which aimed to replace the old currency system that had been in place since the Safavid era. The 1 Tumân coin was the highest denomination in this new system and was equivalent to 100 dinars. It was made of gold and weighed 4.61 grams, making it a valuable and sought-after coin among collectors.
