The Ganjali Khan mint and its Safavid coins

A look at the complex's mint, today a coin museum.

The mint of the Ganjali Khan complex is a small domed building on the eastern side of the square where the city's coins were struck in Safavid times. Today it is a museum with coins from many periods of Iranian history.

What the coins tell

Inscriptions record the mint city, the year and sometimes a line of poetry — an unrivalled source for historians of Kerman's economy.
