Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Shahrokh Afshar, who was the ruler of the Afsharid Empire in Iran from 1748 to 1750. The coin features an inscription in Persian that reads "Shahrokh, the just king, may God prolong his reign" on one side, and an image of a lion and the sun on the other. The use of the lion and sun motif was a common feature of Afsharid coins, and it symbolized the power and strength of the ruler. The fact that this coin was made of silver and weighs 4.55 grams suggests that it was a significant denomination and was likely used for large transactions.
