Could be fake.
Krause catalog says: 'a few deceptive counterfeits are known of the large 10 toman pieces'
The details are very crude. Some scratches are underneath the text.
Where did you get it? Can also be a lead
Flan looks strange. Perhaps testing for gold by a jeweler?
The date AH1334(1915AD) is very rare, so that is a warning for fake ones.

thank you!

this is a real one

I get this from Tehran, the weight is 28.73g, and same size, you can find my pic is the same as this real one(internal tooth at 9 o'clock;and two points,one on the right of the year,the other is at 7 o'clock,but the gold looks too new.....
I have seen people cleaning a coin with a steel brush. Perhaps tha is what happened with this coin?
Copies of rare coins are often made by making a mold of an real coin.
