| Beschrijving voorzijde | Hammered silver field bearing a multi-line Arabic legend in bold nasta'liq script arranged in three horizontal registers across the coin's face, with the regnal inscription reading 'Shahrukh, servant of the threshold of Reza, struck by the command of God in the world' and the AH date 1162 inscribed in the lower register. A dotted border encircles the entire legend, framing the calligraphic text within the rounded flan. The lettering is deeply struck in relief, characteristic of Afsharid hammered coinage of the mid-eighteenth century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Shahrukh, a grandson of Nadir Shah, came to power in Khorasan in 1750 following the catastrophic fragmentation of the Afsharid empire after Nadir's assassination in 1747. His reign was anything but stable — he was blinded, briefly deposed, and restored multiple times over the following decades, ruling Mashhad as a diminished vassal under various Durrani and Qajar overlords. This Type B rupee predates the worst of that turbulence, struck while Afsharid authority in the northeast still carried nominal weight.
Mashhad's mint remained active through the chaos partly due to the city's religious significance as the site of the Imam Reza shrine, which gave it economic traffic independent of political fortune.
