Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Iran. The Hotak dynasty was a short-lived dynasty that emerged in the 18th century, and this coin was minted during the reign of Shah Hussain, who ruled from 1757 to 1758. At that time, Iran was facing political instability, military conflicts, and economic challenges, which are all reflected in the coin's design and production. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable piece of Iranian history and a testament to the resilience of the Iranian people.
