Interesting fact
The 1 Fals coin from the City of Ardabil (Iranian Cities) made of Copper weighing 10.22 g has a unique feature. It has a distinctive shape, known as a "heel-shaped" planchet, which was a common design element in coins minted during the Safavid dynasty (1501-1736) in Iran. This heel-shaped planchet was used to prevent the coin from being easily counterfeited, as it was difficult to produce a fake coin with the same unique shape and weight.
