Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Shah Sultan Husain I, who was the last Safavid king of Iran and ruled from 1694 to 1723. Despite his turbulent reign, which saw the Safavid Empire weakened by internal conflicts and external threats, the coinage of this period remained consistent in its design and quality, reflecting the cultural and artistic achievements of the Safavid dynasty.
