Historical Background of Nasir al-Din Shah and the Qajar Dynasty
Who was Naseeruddin Shah?
Naseer al-Din Shah (1831–1896) is considered one of the most influential kings in modern Iranian history, ascending to the throne in 1848 and ruling for nearly 50 years until his assassination in 1896.
• First Persian king to visit Europe
• The first Iranian king to be photographed
• A monarch who promoted modernization while also making concessions to European powers
During his time, Iran was influenced by major powers such as Britain and Russia, but continued to maintain its own unique culture and political system, symbolized by the majestic portrait of the king engraved on this 1 toman gold coin.

About the coin design

Back (reverse)
The reverse side features a beautifully written Persian inscription. The inscription is surrounded by a laurel-like decorative pattern, representing the prosperity and authority of the kingdom. The date 1300 in the Islamic calendar (1883 AD) can also be seen.

The rarity of this coin
1. The scarcity of Qajar gold coins
Gold coins from the Qajar period were issued in smaller numbers than silver or copper coins, and only a limited number remain. High-grade coins are especially rare, and coins rated NGC MS62, which is in near-mint condition, are extremely valuable.
2. History of melting down many gold coins
Many of the gold coins from that time were used for circulation and later melted down, so it is a miracle that original gold coins from over 140 years ago still remain.
3. International demand
Persian gold coins are extremely popular not only among Middle Eastern collectors, but also in the European, American, and Japanese markets. GoldSilverJapan in particular has seen a surge in collectors seeking gold coins from Iran and the Ottoman Empire, and this coin is a perfect fit for that demand.

For either party, this 1 Toman gold coin is something they will be proud to own.
