Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Karim Khan Zand, who was the founder of the Zand dynasty and ruled Iran from 1750 to 1779. He was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to centralize the government, and this coin was minted as a way to promote his rule and legitimacy. The coin features an inscription in Persian that reads "Karim Khan Zand, King of Iran" and includes the date of minting in the Islamic calendar.
