| Additional information |
Ibrahim Khan Zahir al-Dawla held the Iranian throne for less than a year in 1749 before being deposed and blinded — a standard Afsharid political courtesy. His coinage is consequently rare across all mints, but the Tabriz issues present an additional complication: the city changed hands repeatedly between Afsharid factions and Ottoman-aligned interests during this period, making production windows difficult to reconstruct with confidence.
The Type B designation distinguishes this from an earlier die arrangement, though the precise sequence of types at Tabriz remains debated among specialists working the Afsharid series.
