Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Safi I Safavi, who was the first king of the Safavid dynasty, which was a powerful Iranian dynasty that ruled from 1501 to 1736. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the cultural and religious influences of the time, and it is considered a valuable piece of Iranian numismatic history.
