Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Shahi - Isma'il I Safavi ND (1503-1512) coin from Iran is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Persian architectural elements on its reverse side. The coin's design includes intricate patterns and calligraphy that reflect the cultural and artistic influences of the Safavid dynasty, which ruled Iran during the 16th century. The coin's silver content and relatively small weight also make it a notable example of coinage from this time period.
