Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Shahi - Abbas II (Tabriz) 1070 (1659) coin from Iran is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Safavid-era influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the name of the mint city, "Tabriz," in bold, circular script, while the reverse side features a stylized representation of a lion, which was a symbol of the Safavid dynasty. This blend of design elements reflects the cultural and political influences of the time, and makes the coin a fascinating piece of numismatic history.
