Inscriptions
Obverse: تاریخ جلوس میمنت مانوس الخیر فیما وقع ۱۱٥٠ Reverse: سکه بر زر کرد نام سلطنت را در جهان نادر ایران زمین و خسرو گیتی ستان ضرب مشهد
Context
“The reverse features the Arabic phrase, al-khayr fi ma waqa`, 'the good is in what has happened', an oblique reference to Nadir's success after the demise of the Safavids in 1148. The Arabic letters in this inscription add up to 1148 according to the abjad system, in which each letter of the Arabic alphabet is assigned a numerical value. Chronograms were frequently used in literature and tomb inscriptions, but infrequently on coins.” - Stephen Album For this type, the mint is on one side of the coin while the date is the on other.
