Nader Shah, ruler of Persia (1735–1747), invaded India in 1739, famously plundering Delhi. After his victory, he issued silver coins in Indian style, often in the name of Mughal emperor Muhammad Shah. His Tabriz mint coins reflect Persian aesthetics, featuring elegant calligraphy and Zarb Tabriz inscriptions, symbolizing his expanding imperial authority.
