| Beschrijving voorzijde | Hammered silver flan bearing a three-line Persian couplet in elegant Nasta'liq script, arranged within a double-line cartouche dividing the field horizontally. The upper register bears the opening hemistich proclaiming Nadir as sultan over sultans of the world, the central band carries the epithet Shah-e-Shahan (King of Kings), and the lower register concludes with the honorific Saheb-e-Qiran (Lord of Auspicious Conjunctions). The legends are boldly struck in high relief against a plain field, with minor surface irregularities typical of hand-struck Afsharid coinage. No pictorial devices are present, the entire design being purely epigraphic in the Persianate Islamic tradition. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Struck in the immediate aftermath of Nader Shah's catastrophic sack of Delhi in March 1739, this rupee reflects the extraordinary administrative consequence of that campaign. Having looted an estimated 700 million rupees in treasure from the Mughal court — including the Peacock Throne and the Koh-i-Noor — Nader returned to Iran and suspended taxation on his own subjects for three years. The Ahmadabad mint, a major Mughal facility he now controlled, was pressed into producing coinage on Iranian authority from Indian silver that had not left the subcontinent at all.
