背面描述	The reverse presents a concise two-line Persian mint legend in Nastaliq script, set within a raised circular cartouche or inner border of pellets, which stands in bold relief against the broad, smooth surrounding field. The inscription reads 'Zarb Mashhad Muqaddas' (Struck at Holy Mashhad), identifying the revered Khorasan mint. The wide flat margin beyond the central cartouche is plain and unadorned, typical of the Afsharid Type D mohur format.

附加信息	Nader Shah's gold mohur coinage is poorly understood even by specialists, and the Mashhad mint issues carry particular complexity. Mashhad was Nader's chosen capital — he never fully trusted Isfahan — and the mint there operated under closer royal oversight than provincial counterparts. Type D designations in the Afsharid series reflect die groupings established by later scholars rather than any contemporary classification, and attributions between types remain contested in the literature. Nader was assassinated in June 1747, and the dynasty effectively collapsed within months. Coins struck in the final years of his reign, including this 1743–44 issue, entered a monetary vacuum almost immediately.
