1 Abbasi - Abbas III Safavi Type A, Esfāhān mint

Abbas III was installed as shah in 1732 at roughly eight years old, a puppet of the Afsharid warlord Nader Khan, who had already reduced the Safavid throne to a formality. Coins struck in his name at Esfahan during these years carried the traditional Safavid religious formulae, but real authority had long since left the dynasty. Nader deposed him in 1736 and declared himself shah, ending Safavid rule entirely.

The Esfahan mint was the dynasty's most productive and continued operating through the transition almost without interruption.
