Comment

Sultanabad is modern-day Malayer. Less than six examples known from this mint.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of significant economic and political change in Iran. The Sultanabad mint, where the coin was produced, was established in the late 13th century, and it was during this period that the Ilkhanid Empire, which had ruled much of the Middle East and Central Asia, was beginning to decline. This led to a period of political instability and fragmentation, with various local rulers and dynasties vying for power. Despite these challenges, the mint continued to produce coins, such as the 1 Fals coin, which were used for everyday transactions and played an important role in the local economy.
