Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Tumân coin from Iran, minted in 1314 (1897) during the reign of Moẓaffar od-Dīn Qājār, is that it was made of .900 gold and weighed 2.8744 grams. This coin was a standard circulation coin, indicating that it was widely used in everyday transactions in Iran during that time. Despite being made of gold, the coin's value was still determined by its face value, which was set at 1 Tumân, rather than its intrinsic value based on the gold content. This coin is a unique piece of history that provides insight into Iran's monetary system and economy during the late 19th century.
