Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Ashrafi - Mahmud Hotaki (Type B; Esfāhān) coin is that it was issued during a time of great turmoil in Iran. The Hotak dynasty, which was established by Mirwais Hotak, a Pashtun commander, in 1709, was known for its military campaigns and political instability. Despite this, the coinage issued during this period, including the Ashrafi - Mahmud Hotaki coin, is considered to be of high quality and aesthetic value, reflecting the cultural and artistic achievements of the time.
