Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued 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 modernize and strengthen the country's economy, which is reflected in the issuance of this coin. Additionally, the coin features a unique design, including the Safavid shadow kings (Type A; Raŝt) and was made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material at the time.
