Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Fals coin from the Tabaristan mint is that it was made of copper, which was a common material used for coinage in ancient Persia. Copper was a readily available resource in the region and was often used to create coins that were used for everyday transactions. The use of copper for coinage can be traced back to the Achaemenid Empire (550-330 BCE), which was the first Persian Empire, and continued through the Parthian Empire (247 BCE-224 CE) and the Sassanian Empire (224-651 CE). The fact that the 1 Fals coin was made of copper suggests that it was likely used for everyday transactions and was an important part of the local economy in the City of Tabaristan.
