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 military campaigns against the Ottoman Empire and his efforts to modernize Iran's economy and military. The Ashrafi coin, which was made of gold and weighed 3.69 grams, was likely used as a means of exchange and commerce during this time period.
