Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Hussain ibn Sulayman Safavi, who was the last Safavid king of Iran and ruled from 1709 to 1717. During his reign, the country experienced significant economic and political challenges, including a severe decline in the value of the national currency, which led to the issuance of this coin. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable piece of Iranian history and a testament to the country's rich cultural heritage.
