Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Iran. The Safavid dynasty, which ruled Iran from 1501 to 1736, was in power during the minting of this coin, and it was a period marked by political instability, wars with neighboring countries, and economic struggles. Despite these challenges, the Safavid rulers were known for their patronage of the arts and their efforts to promote trade and commerce, which is reflected in the beauty and craftsmanship of this coin.
