| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse field is entirely occupied by a four-line Persian poetic legend in elegant Nasta'liq script, arranged in horizontal registers divided by ruled lines. The inscription, reading right to left, proclaims the sovereignty of the Imam and the legitimacy of the Sahib al-Zaman (the Hidden Imam), reflecting the Shia doctrinal character of Zand coinage. The mint name Māzandarān appears in the lower register, serving as the principal identifying element of this type. The flan displays the characteristic irregular fabric of hand-struck Iranian silver coinage of the mid-eighteenth century, with bold, deeply impressed lettering throughout the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Karim Khan Zand never took the title of Shah, ruling instead as *Vakīl al-Raʿāyā* — Regent of the Subjects — a deliberate political modesty that distinguished his administration from the brutal succession wars that had torn Iran apart since the fall of the Safavids. The Māzandarān mint, operating along the Caspian littoral, was brought back under centralized control early in his consolidation of power, and these issues from the 1759–1762 window fall squarely within that stabilization effort.
Type A of his rupee coinage predates the later typological revisions associated with his more settled Shiraz-centered administration.
