Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Sultan Husayn Safavi, who was the last king of the Safavid dynasty, which was a powerful Iranian dynasty that ruled Iran from 1501 to 1736. The coin's design features an image of the king on one side and an inscription in Persian on the other side, which includes the name of the king, the date of minting, and a religious phrase. The use of silver in the coin's minting was also a significant aspect of the Safavid economy, as silver was a valuable resource in the region at the time.
