Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 5 Shahi coin from Iran, made of silver and weighing 8.6g, is that it features an intricate design on its reverse side, showcasing the crowned bust of Shah Sultan Husain I, surrounded by a floral motif and a legend in Persian script. The coin's obverse side bears the inscription "Shah Sultan Husain" in bold letters, with the mint name "Tabriz" and the date "ND" (1694-1723) also featured prominently. This coin is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Iran during the Safavid dynasty, which ruled the country from 1501 to 1736.
