Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of political turmoil in Iran. Jalal al-Din Mahmud was a Safavid rebel who minted coins in the name of Sultan Husayn, who was the ruler of the Safavid Empire at the time. This coin, minted in 1136 (1724), was produced during a period of political instability and conflict, which ultimately led to the downfall of the Safavid Empire. Despite its historical significance, the coin still holds value today, with collectors and historians interested in its rarity and the story it tells about Iran's past.
