2 Shahi 'Muhammadi' - Muhammad Khudabanda Safavi type B, Ordu - Military Camp Mint

Muhammad Khudabanda — "servant of God" — came to power in 1578 largely because his near-blindness had made him seem unthreatening to court factions. His decade on the throne was defined by catastrophic military pressure: the Ottomans pressed hard from the west in what became the Ottoman-Safavid War of 1578–1590, and the Uzbeks raided continuously from the northeast. The Ordu mint designation marks this piece as struck in a military field camp rather than any fixed city — a direct material consequence of that sustained warfare, with the mobile court producing coin wherever the army happened to stop.
