Historical Background

Shah Sultan Husayn (1694–1722) was the last strong ruler of the Safavid dynasty.
Coins from his reign were minted during the final years before the Afghan invasion, which eventually ended Safavid rule.

Because of this, coins from 1719–1722 are historically interesting as they come from the last phase of the Safavid Empire.

Coin Specifications (Approx.)
• Metal: Silver
• Weight: about 4–5 grams
• Diameter: about 18–22 mm
• Shape: Hammered coin (hand-struck)

Design

Obverse:
• Arabic / Persian calligraphy
• Usually includes the name of the Shah and religious inscriptions.

Reverse:
• Mint name and Islamic date (Hijri)
• Decorative border of dots.

Safavid coins focus mainly on Islamic calligraphy rather than portraits.

Grade Meaning

F Details (Fine Details):
• Moderate wear
• Design partly visible
• “Details” means the coin may have cleaning, corrosion, or surface issues, so it cannot receive a full numeric grade.

Collector Value (Approx.)
• Typical value: $25 – $80 USD depending on:
• Mint location
• Calligraphy clarity
• Overall condition.

Rare mints or better condition examples can reach $100+.
