Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Bisti coin from Iran, made of Silver and weighing 0.75g, is that it features an inscription in Urdu, which is a rare feature for coins from this region and time period. The inscription reads "Abbas I Safavi" and is written in the Urdu script, which is a form of the Persian alphabet used in Pakistan and Iran. This coin is a unique example of the cultural and linguistic diversity of the region, and its use of Urdu reflects the rich history and heritage of the Safavid dynasty, which ruled Iran from the 16th to the 18th century.
