Comment
Also listed as A#2694Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Abbas III Safavi, who was the last king of the Safavid dynasty, which was a powerful Iranian dynasty that ruled Iran from 1501 to 1736. The coin's design features the name of the king and the date of minting in both Persian and Arabic scripts, reflecting the cultural and linguistic influences of the time. Additionally, the coin's silver content and relatively low weight suggest that it was intended for everyday use in transactions, making it a unique piece of history that provides insight into the economic and monetary systems of 18th century Iran.
