Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Iran. The reign of Sultan Husayn I was marked by political instability, wars with neighboring countries, and economic difficulties. Despite these challenges, the coinage of this period, including the 1 Abbasi coin, remained consistent in its design and quality, reflecting the resilience and craftsmanship of the Iranian people.
