Comment

This issue was struck to commemorate the 50" year of reign, but was recalled after the assassination of Naser al-Din Shah. It is of the highest rarity.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 10 Toman - Naser al-Din Qajar 1313 (1896) 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 portrait of Naser al-Din Shah Qajar, the King of Iran from 1848 to 1896, surrounded by intricate floral patterns and Arabic script. The reverse side features a stylized representation of the Iranian coat of arms, with a lion holding a sword and shield, surrounded by more floral patterns and the coin's denomination and year of issue. This blend of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between Iran and Europe during the late 19th century, and makes the coin a fascinating piece of numismatic history.
