Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Abbas I Safavi, who was the Shah of Iran from 1588 to 1629. He was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to modernize and centralize the government, which led to a period of relative stability and prosperity in Iran. This coin, which was minted during his reign, is a reflection of the economic and political changes that were taking place in Iran during that time.
