Interesting fact
The Yazd mint, where this coin was produced, was one of the four main mints in Iran during the Safavid dynasty (1501-1736 CE). It was known for producing high-quality coins with intricate designs and calligraphy, and was particularly famous for its gold and silver coins. The Yazd mint was also known for its unique minting technique, which involved striking the coins multiple times to create a crisp and detailed image. This technique was known as "Yazd-i-sani" and was used to create many of the coins produced at the mint, including the 1 Fals coin .
