One interesting fact about the 5 Toman - Mohammad Qajar 1251 (1835) gold 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 Mohammad Shah Qajar, the King of Persia from 1834 to 1848, surrounded by a wreath of flowers and leaves, while the reverse side depicts a stylized representation of the Sun Throne, a symbol of the Iranian monarchy, surrounded by intricate floral patterns and Arabic script.
