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, the just king, may God strengthen his reign" on one side, and the other side features a stylized lion and the date 1162 (1749) in the Islamic calendar. This coin is a rare and valuable example of Islamic numismatics and is highly sought after by collectors.
