The Afsharids were of Turkic origin, and the dynasty was founded by Nadir Shah when he deposed the last ruler of the Safavid Dynasty in 1736 AD. He expanded Persian rule to areas previously lost to the Ghilzai Afgans in the east and to the Ottomans in the west. However, he was assassinated in 1747 AD and thereafter the dynasty carried on in a weakened state, with various claimants who eventually split off, the most important being the establishment of the Durrani Empire in Khorasan. This region eventually became part of modern-day Afghanistan. The last Afsharid ruler was captured by Mohammad Khan Qajar, who established the Qajar Dynasty in 1796 AD. The first specimen shown was lot 719 in Steve Album sale 16 (Santa Rosa, CA, May 2013), where it did not sell. The catalog description reads[1]:
"AFSHARID: Shahrukh, 1st reign, 1748-1750, AR double rupee, Mashhad, AH1161, superb strike, well-centered and without any weakness, choice EF."
