Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 10 Toman - Nāṣer al-Dīn Qājār 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 Nāṣer al-Dīn Qājār, the Shah of Iran from 1848 to 1896, surrounded by intricate floral patterns and Arabic script. The reverse side depicts a stylized representation of the Iranian coat of arms, with a lion and a sun symbol surrounded by more floral patterns. This blend of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between Iran and Europe during the late 19th century.
