Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Tumân - Fatḥ Alī Qājār (Type W; Yerevan) 1233-1235 (1818-1820) gold coin from Iran is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Armenian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the inscription "Fatḥ Alī Qājār" in Persian, while the reverse side features an image of a lion, which is a symbol of power and strength in both Islamic and Armenian cultures. This blending of cultural elements reflects the rich history and diversity of the region where the coin was minted, Yerevan, which was once a major trading hub along the Silk Road.
