| Additional information |
The Afsharid monetary system inherited the Safavid abbasi denomination but never fully stabilized it. Nader Shah's campaigns — stretching from the Ottoman frontier to the sack of Delhi in 1739 — created chronic pressure on provincial mints like Mashhad, which sat close to his operational base in Khorasan. The Mashhad mint was among the more active under Afsharid administration precisely because of that proximity to power.
Album 2760 covers a broad reign span, and attribution to specific rulers within the type often depends on mint-date legibility rather than design alone.
