Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Fath-Ali Qajar 1248 (1832) Gold Toman coin from Iran is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and European design elements. The obverse side of the coin depicts a stylized representation of the Persian Lion and Sun emblem, while the reverse side features an image of Fath-Ali Shah Qajar, the ruler of Iran at the time, in a traditional European-style portrait. This blending of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between Iran and Europe during the 19th century.
