Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Muhammad Khodabanda Safavi, who was the Shah of Iran from 1578 to 1587. This coin is a rare example of a gold coin minted during his reign, as most coins from this time period were made of silver or copper. The fact that it was made of gold suggests that it may have been used for special occasions or as a symbol of wealth and power.
