Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Isma'il III Safavi, who was the last king of the Safavid dynasty, which was a powerful Iranian dynasty that ruled from 1501 to 1736. The coin features the name of the king and the title "Shadow of God" in Persian, which reflects the monarch's claim to divine authority. Additionally, the coin's design includes an image of a lion, which was a symbol of power and strength in Persian culture. The fact that this coin was minted in the province of Mazandaran, which is located in the north of Iran, suggests that the region played an important role in the kingdom's economy and trade during that time.
