Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Ashraf Hotaki, who was the last ruler of the Hotak dynasty, which was a brief but significant dynasty that ruled parts of Iran and Afghanistan in the early 18th century. Despite its short lifespan, the Hotak dynasty played an important role in the region's history, and this coin serves as a tangible reminder of that era.
