Comment
Also listed as A#2736Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Nader Shah, who was a powerful military leader and statesman in Iran during the 18th century. He was known for his military campaigns against the Ottoman Empire and the Mughal Empire, and he established the Afsharid dynasty, which ruled Iran from 1736 to 1796. The coin was minted in the city of Mashhad, which was an important center of trade and commerce in the region. The coin's design features a calligraphic inscription with the name of the ruler, Nader Shah, and the date of issue, as well as a stylized image of a lion and a sun, which were symbols of power and authority in Persian culture.
