| Additional information |
Husayn I was the last effective Safavid shah, and the Nakhjavan mint operated under increasingly desperate conditions during his final years. Afghan forces under Mahmud Hotaki were advancing through Persia by 1720, and provincial mints like Nakhjavan — situated in the Araxes valley, far from Isfahan — were among the first to feel administrative collapse. The shah surrendered Isfahan itself in October 1722, effectively ending the dynasty.
Coins from Nakhjavan in this narrow window are scarcer than those from the major royal mints, reflecting disrupted production rather than low original demand.
