Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 10 Toman - Naser al-Din Qajar 1311 (1894) coin from Iran is that it features a unique blend of traditional Persian motifs and European influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features a portrait of Naser al-Din Qajar, the Shah of Iran from 1848 to 1896, surrounded by a wreath of flowers and leaves, while the reverse side depicts a stylized representation of the Iranian coat of arms, consisting of a lion and a sun, surrounded by intricate floral patterns.
