This specimen was lot 39 in Sincona sale 88 (Zurich, May 2024), where it sold for 3,800 CHF (about US$5,021 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"IRAN, Hotak Dynasty, Mahmud Shah, 1135-1137 AH (1722-1724). Ashrafi 1135 AH (1722), Isfahan Mint. Äusserst selten; Extremely rare. NGC MS66. Purchased from Spink & Son, Zurich, in 1996."
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." Mahmud Shah was the third shah of the Hotaks but never controlled more than about half of Iran. His coinage and that of the other Hotaks are usually included with the Safavids even tho the Hotaks were Afghans and Sunni Muslims. This gold issue was listed by the auctioneers as KM 335, which is an issue of Ashraf Shah (AH 1137-1142).
