Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Safi II Safavi, who was the last king of the Safavid dynasty, which was a powerful Iranian dynasty that ruled from 1501 to 1736. The coin's design features the name of the king and the date of minting in both Persian and Arabic scripts, reflecting the cultural and linguistic influences of the time. Additionally, the use of silver in the coin's minting indicates the importance of this precious metal in the region's economy and trade during that period.
