| Additional information |
Mashhad in 1733 sat at the center of a collapsing Safavid world. Nader Qoli — not yet Nader Shah, that title came in 1736 — had effectively usurped military and political control, and provincial minting of anonymous copper fals reflected exactly this kind of interregnum ambiguity: no ruler's name meant no commitment to a legitimacy that was still being negotiated at sword-point. Anonymous issues from Mashhad are notoriously difficult to attribute precisely because the city changed hands and allegiances repeatedly during the 1730s.
