1 Rupee - Nader Shah Afshar Type D - Tiflis mint

Tiflis — modern Tbilisi — came under Afsharid control after Nader Shah's campaigns through the Caucasus, and this mint operated there during the years of Iranian occupation as a direct administrative assertion over the region. The city had passed between Safavid, Ottoman, and local Georgian hands repeatedly before Nader consolidated it. Coinage from Tiflis under Nader is scarce relative to core Iranian mints like Isfahan or Mashhad, reflecting both the brevity of firm control and the logistical difficulty of maintaining a productive provincial mint at the empire's northern edge.
