| Additional information |
Safi I inherited the Safavid throne in 1629 following the death of Abbas I — the dynasty's most capable ruler — and his reign was marked almost immediately by territorial losses, including the fall of Kandahar to the Mughals in 1638. The Ardabil mint held particular dynastic significance: it was the ancestral home of the Safavid order, the site of the family shrine, and one of the few mints that operated with near-continuous royal patronage throughout the dynasty's coinage history.
Type B of this issue reflects a mid-reign revision to the flan preparation and die axis conventions adopted across several provincial mints during the 1630s.
