<p>[QUOTE=&quot;arashpour, post: 3121379, member: 85830&quot;]Guys I recently got a 1/4 mohur gold coin of Karim Khan Zand. For all those who collect Zand please post your coins. I specially love to see if anyone has Sadiq Khan, Ali murad khan and other rulers of Zand but you are welcome to also post coins of Karim Khan. A bit of history about Karim Khan</p><p><br /></p><p>better known as <b>Karim Khan Zand</b> (کریم خان زند), was the founder of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zand_Dynasty" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zand_Dynasty" rel="nofollow">Zand Dynasty</a> and the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shah" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shah" rel="nofollow">Shah</a> of Iran, ruling from 1751 to 1779. He ruled all of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran" rel="nofollow">Iran</a> (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Name_of_Iran" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Name_of_Iran" rel="nofollow">Persia</a>) except for <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khorasan_Province" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khorasan_Province" rel="nofollow">Khorasan</a>.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karim_Khan_Zand#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPerry2011561%E2%80%93564-1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karim_Khan_Zand#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPerry2011561%E2%80%93564-1" rel="nofollow">[1]</a> He also ruled over some <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caucasus" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caucasus" rel="nofollow">Caucasian</a> lands and occupied <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basra" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basra" rel="nofollow">Basra</a> for some years. </p><p>While Karim was ruler, Iran recovered from the devastation of 40 years of war, providing the war ravaged country with a renewed sense of tranquility, security, peace, and prosperity. The years from 1765 to Karim Khan&#039;s death in 1779 marked the zenith of Zand rule.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karim_Khan_Zand#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFisherAveryHamblyMelville199196-2" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karim_Khan_Zand#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFisherAveryHamblyMelville199196-2" rel="nofollow">[2]</a> During his reign, relations with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom" rel="nofollow">Britain</a> were restored, and he allowed the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_East_India_Company" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_East_India_Company" rel="nofollow">East India Company</a> to have a trading post in southern Iran.
