Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Isma'il III Safavi, who was the last king of the Safavid dynasty in Iran. Despite being the last king, he was known for his efforts to reform the government and military, and his coinage reflects this, with the use of high-quality silver and detailed minting techniques. Additionally, the coin features an intricate design that includes both Persian and Arabic script, showcasing the cultural and linguistic diversity of the Safavid Empire at the time.
