Hi, m8s!

andyg thanks for your tip.
I managed to find a couple of similar coins from Iran Qajar dynasty, but they are much larger than mine.
Such a small one could not be found.

If the weight is correct I would imagine this is a Shahi, the unfortunate hole and mount marks having reduced the weight from around 1.15g. These are quite scarce coins.

These are not your coin type, but the legends look similar,

andyg I agree with you. It must be Shahi Type D minted under Agha Muhammad Khan AH1193-1211 / 1779-97AD in Teheran.
I checked Krause catalogue, but can't find Shahi minted in Teheran during this period. Only Isfahan, Khoy and Shiraz mint.
Does Krause catalogue has not full information or my coin is not an ordinary coin?
How do you think what is the value of my coin?

Krause isn't complete.

Values on these things tend towards disappointment.

The mint name is Isfahan. The ashrafi of 1.15g was also struck under the Zand dynasty.
