Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Isma'il III Safavi, who was the ruler of the Safavid Empire in Iran from 1750 to 1773. The coin features the name of Isma'il III on one side and an image of a lion on the other, which was a common motif on Safavid coins. The use of silver in the coin's minting was also significant, as it reflected the value placed on this precious metal in the region at the time. Additionally, the fact that the coin was minted in Tabriz, which was a major city in the Northern Provinces of the Iranian States, highlights the coin's connection to the rich cultural and economic heritage of the region.
