Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and social change in Iran. The Hotak dynasty, which ruled Iran from 1722 to 1736, was a Turkic dynasty that rose to power after the collapse of the Safavid dynasty. The Azad Hotaki coin was minted during the reign of Shah Hussain, who ruled from 1755 to 1756, and it reflects the cultural and artistic influences of the time. The coin features intricate calligraphy and ornate designs, showcasing the skill and craftsmanship of the mint masters and artisans of the period. Despite its age, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Iran.
