Shahrukh, the blind grandson of Nadir Shah, ruled Khurasan in a state of near-constant deposition and restoration — he was dethroned, mutilated, and reinstalled multiple times between 1750 and his final removal by the Qajar Agha Mohammad Khan in 1796. The Mashhad mint remained under his nominal authority during lucid periods of control, making attribution of specific issues to particular political moments genuinely difficult. Type D classification within this series distinguishes die characteristics refined by later scholarship rather than any feature announced at striking.
