Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Lutf 'Ali Khan, who was the ruler of the Zand dynasty in Iran from 1789 to 1796. The Zand dynasty was known for its cultural and artistic achievements, and this coin reflects that legacy with its intricate design and craftsmanship.
