Note
These magnificent multiple ashrafi gold coins were copied from those of the Ottomans and, ultimately, from multiples of the Venetian ducat. They were not intended as currency, but for display as magnificent gifts from the Shah. Ladies would use them as a means of family savings while men, particularly statesmen and soldiers, would wear them as a treasured sign of royal approval. Most of those that have survived, including this one, show signs of having been mounted for suspension.
