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 1717 to 1723. This coin was part of a new currency system introduced by the Shah, known as the "Third Standard," which aimed to stabilize the country's economy and reduce inflation. The coin's design features the Shah's name and title in Persian script, as well as an image of a lion and the sun, which were symbols of the Safavid dynasty.
