The dates and mints are very rarely visible on these larins.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Larin - Abbas I ND (1588-1629) coin from Iran is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Persian designs on its obverse and reverse sides. The obverse side features the name of the ruler, Abbas I, in Persian script, while the reverse side features a stylized representation of the Islamic crescent moon and star. This blend of designs reflects the cultural and religious influences of the Safavid dynasty, which ruled Iran during the time the coin was minted.
