Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Isma'il III Safavi, who was the last king of the Safavid dynasty in Iran. He ruled from 1750 to 1754, and his reign was marked by political instability and foreign invasions. Despite these challenges, the Safavid shadow kings, like Isma'il III, continued to issue coins like this one, which features the name of the king and the date of issue in both Persian and Arabic scripts. This coin is a rare and valuable artifact that provides a glimpse into the history of Iran during this time period.
