This specimen was lot 72 in Sincona sale 88 (Zurich, May 2024), where it sold for 750 CHF (about US$991 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"IRAN, Afsharid Dynasty, Nader Shah, as king, 1148-1160 AH (1735-1747). Rupi 1152 AH (1739), Moltan Mint. Sehr selten, Sehr schön, Leicht gereinigt; Very rare. Very fine. Lightly cleaned. Purchased from A. Shams, Frankfurt, in 1987."
Nadir Shah was the power behind the throne in the last years of the Safavids. Finally, he tired of ruling thru puppets and seized the throne for himself in AH 1148. This silver rupi (ten shahi) was minted after he proclaimed himself shah. It was also struck at Ahmadabad, Bhakkar, Derajat, Kabul, Lahore, Peshawar, Sahrind, Shajahanabad, Sind and Tatta, most of which are now in India.
Recorded mintage: unknown but a scarce mint.
