| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field carries a two-line Persian calligraphic legend in Arabic script reading 'khallad Allah mulkahu zarb Derajat 1159' (May Allah perpetuate his kingdom; struck at Derajat, AH 1159). The mint name 'Derajat' identifies the issuing city in the northwestern subcontinent under Afsharid control, with the Hijri date 1159 appearing in the lower register. The inscription is presented in a plain field without additional ornament or border devices, consistent with standard Afsharid hammered rupee production. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Nader Shah's rupee coinage for the Derajat region reflects one of the more pragmatic decisions of his otherwise maximalist reign — after his 1739 sack of Delhi and seizure of the Peacock Throne, he inherited Mughal-administered territories in the trans-Indus frontier and needed a currency that would function locally without friction. The rupee format, weight, and silver standard were deliberately retained to ease commerce in a region accustomed to Mughal monetary conventions.
This particular issue falls in the final year of Nader's life. He was assassinated in June 1747, and mint output from Derajat effectively ceased with the subsequent fragmentation of his empire.
