Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 5 Toman - Ahmad Qajar 1332 (1914) coin from Iran is that it was minted during a time of great change and political upheaval in the country. The Ahmad Qajar dynasty was the last ruling dynasty of Iran, and Ahmad Shah Qajar, who ruled from 1909 to 1925, was the last Shah of Iran. This coin was minted in 1914, just a few years before the Qajar dynasty was overthrown and Iran became a constitutional monarchy. This coin is a piece of history that represents a significant turning point in Iran's political and social landscape.
