Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Tumân - Fatḥ Alī Qājār (Type W; Tabrīz) 1233-1238 (1818-1823) gold coin from Iran is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and European design elements. The coin's obverse side features a stylized depiction of the Persian lion and sun emblem, while the reverse side bears the name of the ruler, Fatḥ Alī Qājār, in a curved line above the coin's denomination. This blend of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between Iran and Europe during the 19th century.
