1 Abbasi - Abbas II Safavi Type B1, Yerevan mint

Abbas II came to the Safavid throne in 1642 at around ten years old, and the early years of his reign saw genuine administrative consolidation rather than the factional paralysis that plagued his predecessors. Yerevan — taken from the Ottomans definitively by Shah Abbas I in 1604 and retained after the 1639 Treaty of Zuhab — functioned as a significant regional mint precisely because it controlled Armenian trade routes into Anatolia.

The Type B1 classification distinguishes this issue within a reign that produced multiple documented die varieties across its Armenian and Persian mints. Yerevan output from this decade remains measurably scarcer than Isfahan or Tabriz production.
