EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Islamic coin from Qazvin, crafted with silver and measuring 2.7x2.7 cm. Housed in the prestigious Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford, UK, this remarkable piece belongs to the Iranian School collection. The coin bears significant historical value as it represents Sultan Husayn (1668-1726), the Safavid Shah of Iran who reigned from 1694 to 1722. Its intricate design and fine craftsmanship reflect the rich numismatic heritage of Persia. As we delve into its details, we are transported back in time to a period when coins were not merely a means of transaction but also served as symbols of power and cultural identity. The obverse side features inscriptions in Arabic script, highlighting its Islamic origins and emphasizing its role within Persian society. Through this image, we gain insight into the monetary system that prevailed during Sultan Husayn's reign while appreciating the artistic beauty embedded within each coin produced by Iranian artisans. It serves as a testament to their skillful mastery and dedication to preserving their cultural heritage.
