Ibrahim Khan Afshar ruled a collapsing empire. By 1749, the Afsharid dynasty founded by Nadir Shah was fragmenting rapidly following Nadir's assassination in 1747, with regional commanders and family members carving out competing claims across Persia. Ibrahim Khan held Tabriz — a strategically critical northwestern city and former Safavid capital — but his grip was tenuous. Coinage from this period is consequentially thin in volume.
The "Type B" designation reflects die modification, not a separate issuing authority. Tabriz output for this pretender reign is among the scarcest of all Afsharid fractional gold.
