Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Shahrukh Afshar, who was the ruler of the Afsharid Empire in Iran from 1748 to 1796. The coin features an inscription in Persian that reads "Shahrukh Afshar, King of Kings, may God strengthen his reign" on one side, and an image of a lion and the sun on the other. The lion and sun symbolize courage and power, which were important values in the Afsharid Empire.
