Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Sulayman, who was the last Ilkhanid ruler and was known for his attempts to centralize power and restore the empire's former glory. Despite his efforts, the Ilkhanate was in decline during his reign and was eventually overthrown by the Chupanid dynasty, which issued this coin as a puppet state. This coin is a rare surviving example of the currency used during this tumultuous period in Persian history.
