Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of King Narseh (also known as Narses) on one side, who was the last king of the Sasanian Empire. He ruled from 293 to 302 AD and was known for his military campaigns against the Roman Empire. The coin was minted during his reign and is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
