| Additional information |
The Hotak dynasty's grip on Persia was essentially finished before these coins were struck. Azad Khan Afghan, a former Afsharid officer, briefly controlled Isfahan in the late 1750s amid the chaotic fragmentation following Nader Shah's assassination in 1747 — his authority was never more than regional and perpetually contested. The Isfahan mint continued producing under whatever power held the city, a bureaucratic inertia that makes attributing short-lived issues like this one genuinely difficult.
Azad Khan was defeated by Karim Khan Zand by 1762, ending any Hotaki-affiliated presence in central Persia.
