Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Toman - Fatḥ Alī Qājār 1209 (1830) gold coin from Iran is that it features a unique blend of traditional Persian motifs and European-style numismatic design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a crowned portrait of Fatḥ Alī Shah Qājār, the second Qajar king of Iran, surrounded by a wreath of flowers and leaves, while the reverse side features a stylized representation of the Sun Throne, a symbol of the Iranian monarchy, surrounded by a circle of stars. This blend of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between Iran and Europe during the 19th century, and makes the coin a fascinating piece of numismatic history.
