Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Tumân - Fatḥ Alī Qājār (Type W; Tehrān) 1232-1240 (1817-1825) gold coin from Iran is that it was issued during the reign of Fatḥ Alī Shah Qājār, who was the second Qajar king of Iran and ruled from 1797 to 1834. During his reign, Iran faced many challenges, including foreign invasions and internal conflicts, which led to the country's economic decline. Despite these challenges, the coinage during this period remained consistent, with the 1 Tumân coin being one of the most widely used denominations. Today, this coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, providing a glimpse into Iran's rich history and cultural heritage.
