Zands, Muhammad Karim Khan AV 1/4 Mohur. Type D. Zarrabkhane-ye Mobarak-e Rikab mint, AH 1176 = AD 1762. Shi'ite kalima in four lines within dotted border / Mint epithet in four lines within dotted border; AH date below. Album 2792 var. (reverse type); KM 530.5 var. (same). 2.76g, 18mm, 3h.
Very Fine. Possibly unique and unpublished with this reverse type.
From the Arethusa collection.
The distribution of the reverse text seems different from that of type D and from other specimens from this mint. The mint name "Zarrabkhane-ye Mubarake-ye Rikab" means "the fortuitous mint of the stirrup", a mobile mint which accompanied the royal army during its campaigns.
