Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Safi I Safavi, who was the first king of the Safavid dynasty, which was a powerful Iranian dynasty that ruled from 1501 to 1736. The coin features an inscription in Persian that reads "Safi I Safavi, King of Iran" and includes the date of minting in both the Solar Hijri and Gregorian calendars. This coin is a rare and valuable example of early Safavid numismatics and is highly sought after by collectors.
