Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Bisti coin from Iran, made of silver and weighing 0.53g, is that it was issued during the reign of Abbas I Safavi, who was the Shah of Iran from 1588 to 1629. Abbas I was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to modernize and centralize the Iranian government, and this coin may have been part of his efforts to promote trade and commerce within the region.
