Comment
Virtually all known specimens of this denomination for Nadir Mirza are ex-mount. In fact, the great majority of all surviving Afsharid, Zand and early Qajar shahis are ex-mount, as this denomination was used primarily for decoration rather than ordinary circulation.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Nader Mirza Afshar, who was a prominent ruler of the Afsharid dynasty in Iran. He was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to modernize the country, and this coin is a reflection of that era. Additionally, the fact that it was minted in the city of Mashhad, which is considered one of the holiest cities in Iran, adds to its cultural and historical significance.
