Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Shahi - Tahmasp Safavid (Esfāhān) 948 (1542) coin from Iran is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Persian architectural elements on its reverse side. The coin's design includes intricate patterns and calligraphy that reflect the artistic and cultural influences of the Safavid dynasty, which ruled Iran from the 16th to the 18th century. The coin's silver content and relatively low weight also make it a notable example of coinage from this time period.
