Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Sultan Husayn Safavi, who was the last king of the Safavid dynasty, which was a powerful Iranian dynasty that ruled from 1501 to 1736. The coin's design features an image of the king on one side and an inscription in Persian on the other side, indicating the coin's denomination and the year it was minted. The use of silver in the coin's minting process was also a significant aspect of its production, as silver was a valuable and widely used metal in the region at the time.
