Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Ismāʿil III Safavi, who was the ruler of the Safavid Empire in Iran from 1750 to 1773. This coin is a rare example of a silver coin minted during his reign, as most coins from this time period were made of copper or other base metals. The fact that it was minted in the city of Esfāhān, which was a major cultural and economic center in the region, adds to its historical significance.
