Thank you Quant.Geek for sharing this nice gold coin. Gold Tomans during early years of Fath 'Ali shah rule, are of standard weight of 6.14 gm and 22 mm diameter. Please give details of your coin.

Thank you Ram, you have a wonderful gold coin. Most Fath 'Ali Shah gold Tomans are decorated with floral ornaments and rosettes; yours is just of the plain type. Figleaf has posted a similar gold toman on September 1, 2015 as per this link http://www.worldofcoins.eu/forum/index.php/topic,32906.msg207443.html#msg207443
