| Additional information |
Nader Shah's Afghan mints occupied an uneasy administrative position throughout his reign. Kābul had been wrested from the Mughals following his 1738 sack of Delhi — a campaign that netted him the Peacock Throne and enough plunder that he famously suspended Persian tax collection for three years. The city's mint reopened under Afsharid control but never shed its logistical difficulties: silver supply chains from the subcontinent were erratic, and the region's political loyalty to Nader was never unconditional.
Type D falls within the final, increasingly paranoid years of Nader's rule, when provincial minting authorities operated under close scrutiny. He was assassinated in June 1747.
