Falus - Abbas III Safavi Qazvin mint

Abbas III was installed as shah in 1732 at roughly eight years old, a puppet of the Afsharid warlord Nader Khan, who deposed him in 1736 and proclaimed himself Nader Shah — ending the Safavid dynasty entirely. This falus, struck at Qazvin in the penultimate or final year of Safavid rule, was minted under a regime that had already lost real power. Qazvin had served as a Safavid capital under Tahmasp I before Isfahan took that role, giving the mint a long institutional history that outlasted the dynasty's political coherence by decades.
