Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Ashrafi coin is that it was minted during the reign of Tahmasp II, who was the Shah of Iran from 1722 to 1732. Tahmasp II was known for his efforts to modernize Iran's economy and military, and the minting of this coin may have been part of those efforts. Additionally, the fact that it was made of gold and weighs 3.51 grams suggests that it may have been a high-value coin at the time.
