Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of King Adel Afshar, who was the ruler of the Afsharid dynasty in Iran from 1736 to 1748. The coin features the name of the king and the date of issue in both Persian and Arabic scripts, reflecting the cultural and linguistic diversity of the region at that time. Additionally, the coin's silver content and relatively low weight suggest that it was intended for everyday use by the general population, making it a unique piece of numismatic history.
