| Beschrijving voorzijde | Hammered gold flan bearing a multi-line Persian legend in bold Nasta'liq script, arranged in three registers separated by raised horizontal rules. The central field carries the royal mint poem attributing the coin to Shah Tahmasb II, styled 'Sahib-Qiran' (Lord of the Auspicious Conjunction), with the mint name Isfahan (Isfahân) and the AH date 1142 inscribed in the lower register. The irregular flan edge is characteristic of Safavid hammered coinage, and the deeply struck calligraphic legends fill the field with confident, flowing strokes. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Tahmasb II's reign was one of the most embattled in Safavid history. After Mahmud Hotaki's Afghan forces sacked Isfahan in 1722 and held it for years, Tahmasb reclaimed the throne with critical assistance from the warlord Nader Qoli Beg — the future Nader Shah. These ashrafis from the Isfahan mint fall squarely within that uneasy partnership, struck while Nader was effectively running military and political affairs and Tahmasb remained a figure of legitimizing convenience rather than real authority.
In 1732, Nader deposed Tahmasb entirely, replacing him with the infant Abbas III. Coins of this type represent the final window of Tahmasb's nominal rule from his own capital.
