Diameter 21 mm

Shah Verdi was assassinated in 1174 AH; for this coin dated 2 years later, it is still struck in name of Nadir Shah but by Muhammad Hasan Khan, his son who succeeded him.
Note: I have posted a similar coin on March 13, 2017 http://www.worldofcoins.eu/forum/index.php/topic,38392.msg242413.html#msg242413

Beautiful and scarce.  The style of writing is pretty crude on these coins; your two examplars are similar except for the date : small digits on this one (1176) and large characters on your previous coin (1179).

Thank you Saro. I chose this coin to show the mint " Ganga گنجه " in order to compare the mint written on this coin with your Civic copper coin.
