Shahi - Nader Afshar Type C, Peshawar

Nader Shah's Peshawar mint was active during his campaigns into the subcontinent following the 1739 sack of Delhi — one of the most destructive raids in Mughal history, which transferred an almost incomprehensible quantity of bullion westward into Afsharid coffers. The Type C classification distinguishes a specific calligraphic die arrangement used at this mint, documented in the Zeno corpus but still imperfectly understood in terms of its precise date range within the broader 1741 output.

Peshawar-struck Afsharid fractions are notoriously difficult to attribute with confidence; the mint changed hands repeatedly during Nader's later campaigns.
