Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of significant political and economic change in Iran. The reign of Tahmasb II Safavi (1722-1732) saw the country facing challenges from foreign powers, including the Ottoman Empire, and struggling with internal conflicts and economic instability. Despite these challenges, the coinage of this period, including the 1 Abbasi coin, remained consistent in its design and quality, reflecting the importance of maintaining a strong monetary system during times of turmoil.
