Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Abbas II Safavi, who was the Shah of Iran from 1642 until his death in 1666. He was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to modernize and centralize the government, which had a significant impact on the country's economy and culture. This coin, which was minted in the city of Tiflis (now Tbilisi, Georgia), is a reflection of the economic and cultural developments that took place during his reign.
