5 Shahi - Hussain ibn Sulayman Safavi Tiflis mint

Struck at Tiflis — modern Tbilisi — during a period when Safavid control over the Caucasus was fracturing badly. The mint operated under governors whose loyalty to Isfahan was increasingly nominal; by 1722, Peter the Great's forces would push into the Caspian littoral and the Afghans would sack the Safavid capital itself. This coin predates that collapse by only a few years.

Hussain ibn Sulayman is Sultan Husayn, last effective Safavid shah before the Afghan Hotaki invasion. Tiflis-mint silver from his reign is scarcer than Isfahan or Tabriz output — the Georgian mint's production was intermittent and politically contingent.
