Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the coin is that it was minted during the reign of Muhammad Khudabanda Safavi, who was the Shah of Iran from 1578 to 1587. He was a member of the Safavid dynasty, which was known for its artistic and cultural achievements, as well as its military conquests. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the cultural and religious influences of the time, and its silver content makes it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
