Comment

"2747 AR 6 shahi (6.91g), type C

A [Abundant]

Some rare examples are struck on broad flans, with a blank outer margin on both sides, not just on the obverse, probably for presentation purposes."

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Nader Shah, who was a powerful military leader and statesman in Iran during the 18th century. He was known for his military campaigns against the Ottoman Empire and his efforts to modernize and centralize the Iranian government. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the cultural and religious influences of the time, and its silver content makes it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
