Comment
Also listed as A#2683Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Husayn Safavi, who was the last Safavid king of Iran and ruled from 1722 to 1726. This coin was minted in the city of Raŝt, which was an important center of trade and commerce during the Safavid era. The coin's design features an inscription in Persian that reads "Husayn Safavi, Shahanshah of Iran" and includes an image of a lion, which was a symbol of the Safavid dynasty. Despite its age, this coin remains a valuable piece of Iranian history and a testament to the craftsmanship of the Safavid-era mint masters.
