Persia
AV Ashrafi AH1122 =1710 Shiraz Mint
Sultan Husayn
Safavid Dynasty

This mint (Shiraz) only struck Silver coinage, during his reign. However, they did strike a few gold ashrafi coins for presentation purposes only. Steve Album states that maybe 5-10 where minted. This one of three known examples. Husayn was captured by Hotaki rebels from Afghanistan. Later Ashrafi Hotaki had Husayn beheaded.

Here is a Nuremburg jeton coin that I have never found a good match on. The script seems to be total nonsense but I haven't found any other examples with matching script. I'd guess it's circa 1550 CE.
