| Additional information |
By 1750, the Safavid dynasty was functionally finished — Suleiman II was a shadow ruler propped up amid the chaos that followed Nader Shah's assassination in 1747. The coinage of this period reflects institutional collapse: mints changed hands between regional strongmen, and die-cutting quality varied wildly depending on who actually controlled the facility on a given month.
Type B of this Abbasi is distinguished from Type A primarily by calligraphic arrangement within the central field, a distinction documented under A#2701 in Album's corpus. Attribution to specific mints remains difficult for most survivors.
