Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Husayn Safavi, who was the last king of the Safavid dynasty in Iran. The coin features an intricate design, including an inscription of the king's name and title, as well as an image of a lion and a sun on the reverse side. The use of silver in the coin's minting was also a significant choice, as it reflected the value and wealth of the Safavid Empire at the time.
