1 Abbasi - Husayn Safavi Type D, Isfahan mint

Husayn was the last effective Safavid shah, and these late Isfahan strikes coincide almost exactly with the Afghan crisis that ended the dynasty. Mir Mahmud Hotaki's forces sacked Isfahan in 1722 after a seven-month siege during which famine killed tens of thousands — the mint effectively ceased operation as the city fell. Coins from the final years of this reign are often found with irregular flans and inconsistent die alignment, not through carelessness but because the Isfahan mint was under increasing logistical strain as provincial revenues collapsed and Afghan raiding parties cut supply routes into the capital.
