Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Shahi - Tahmasp I (Nimruz) coin is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Persian designs on its obverse and reverse sides. The obverse side features the name of the ruler, Tahmasp I, in Persian script, while the reverse side features a stylized representation of the Islamic crescent moon and star. This blend of designs reflects the cultural and religious influences of the Safavid dynasty, which ruled Iran during the coin's minting period.
