Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Shahi - Gilzay Mahmud Hotaki 1136 (1724) coin from the Hotak dynasty (Iranian States) is that it was made of silver and weighed 14.74 grams. This is notable because it was a significant departure from the usual copper or bronze coins that were commonly used in the region at the time. The use of silver in the coin's minting process indicates that the Hotak dynasty had access to a reliable source of the precious metal, which was likely used to demonstrate the wealth and power of the ruling family.
