Interesting fact
The Mardin mint, where this coin was produced, was known for its high-quality copper coins during the Safavid era (1501-1736 CE). In fact, the Mardin mint was one of the few mints in the region that was authorized to produce coins with the royal insignia of the Safavid rulers, which speaks to the mint's reputation for excellence in coinage production.
