Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Tuman coin from Iran, minted during the reign of Ahmad Qajar (1913-1919), is that it was made of gold (.900) and weighed 28.68 grams. This makes it a unique and valuable coin among collectors, as it is not common to find coins made of gold from this time period, especially from Iran. Additionally, the coin's design features the bust of Ahmad Qajar on one side and the Iranian coat of arms on the other, which adds to its historical and cultural significance.
