Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Mohammad Khodābande Safavi, who was the first king of the Safavid dynasty, which was a powerful Iranian dynasty that ruled Iran from 1501 to 1736. The coin features an inscription with the name of the king and the date of issue, which is written in the Solar Hijri calendar. This calendar is based on the solar year and is still used in Iran today.
