As a consequence, mints across the Safavid world shut down. Those on the periphery or near a port, appear to have continued production. India and the Ottomans experienced a similar phenomenon during his time as well.

This rare coin is still available! Why is this rare? When Sulayman I ascended into power, the Safavids were in the grip of silver famine. While the country had untapped silver, it didn't develop the mines to process it and relied on silver imports (which for a good while, were plentiful).

In 1838 and in 1856, Britain occupied Kharg Island in the Persian Gulf to exert military and diplomatic pressure on the Persian Qajar dynasty, primarily to stop Russian-backed Persian expansion into Afghanistan, a buffer state between the expanding Russian Empire and British India.

The trade went through their land, w goods (manufactures from China; fur, slaves, & maybe iron from Steppe) going to Baghdad. In turn, Silver, went east & north to cover trade deficit. Now, by having silver, the Samanids had an ‘in’ on trade, & who would they want to cut out? Baghdad of course!
