Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Shaikh Murshid, a powerful ruler of the Shaikhdom of Shaikh Murshid, which was a small state located in the northwestern part of Iran. The coin features an intricate design, including an inscription in Arabic script that reads "Shaikh Murshid" on one side and "One Fals" on the other. The use of copper as the material for the coin was a common practice during that time period, as it was a readily available and affordable metal. Despite its small size, this coin is a valuable piece of history that provides insight into the economic and political systems of the region during the time of Shaikh Murshid's rule.
