Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Nader Shah, who was a powerful military leader and statesman in Iran during the 18th century. He is known for his military campaigns against the Ottoman Empire and for his efforts to modernize and centralize the Iranian government. This coin, which features an image of Nader Shah on one side and an image of the Imam Reza shrine on the other, was likely minted to commemorate his military victories and to promote his image as a powerful and successful leader.
