1 Shahi - Abbas III Safavi Rasht

Abbas III was installed as Shah in 1732 at roughly eighteen months of age, a puppet ruler propped up by the military strongman Nader Khan — the same man who would depose him three years later and declare himself Nader Shah, ending Safavid rule entirely. Coins struck in Abbas III's name are therefore products of a fiction: a child emperor, a dying dynasty, and a regent who had already decided the outcome.

The Rasht mint, active on the Caspian littoral, was one of the provincial operations issuing in his name during this compressed window.
