Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Husayn Safavi, who was the last Safavid king of Iran and ruled from 1718 to 1724. Despite his short reign, he made significant reforms to the country's currency, including the introduction of a new coinage system that included the use of silver coins like this one. This coin is a rare example of the currency used during his reign and is highly sought after by collectors today.
