5 Shahi - Hussain ibn Sulaiman Safavi Type B, Esfāhān mint

Hussain ibn Sulaiman — better known as Sultan Husayn — came to power in 1694 following the death of Shah Sulayman, inheriting an empire already weakened by administrative neglect and a court dominated by religious hardliners. His reign ended in 1722 when Afghan forces under Mahmud Hotaki besieged Isfahan for six months, forcing a humiliating capitulation that effectively terminated Safavid power. Coins struck at Isfahan in the years around 1703 belong to the last generation of functioning imperial production at the capital before that collapse.

The "Type B" classification reflects a recuttting or revision of the die layout used at the Isfahan mint during Husayn's reign — a mint that had been the empire's primary silver production center for over a century.
