This specimen was lot 48 in Sincona sale 88 (Zurich, May 2024), where it sold for 5,000 CHF (about US$6,607 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"IRAN, Hotak Dynasty, Azad Khan, 1163-1170 AH (1750-1757). Mohur Ashrafi 1170 AH (1757), Isfahan Mint. Äusserst selten, Extremely rare. NGC MS63. Purchased from Sotheby's, London, in 1987."
Wikipedia comments, "The Hotak dynasty (Pashto: د هوتکيانو ټولواکمني Persian: امپراتوری هوتکیان) was an Afghan monarchy founded by Ghilji Pashtuns that briefly ruled portions of Iran and Afghanistan during the 1720s. It was established in April 1709 by Mirwais Hotak, who led a successful rebellion against the declining Persian Safavid empire." This is a rare type, struck AH 1169-1170 only at Isfahan. It is listed in the SCWC under Iran but most of the Hotak issues are found under Afghanistan.
