Nim-Bisti

A Persian copper coin of the Sufi or Safi Dynasty which appeared about the reign of Shah Abbas I (A.H. 996-1038 � 1587-1629). It bore a proportion of two and one-half to the Shahi, and was also equal to four Kashbegis.

In the Georgian series this coin can be traced to the reign of Queen Rusudan (A.D. 1227 - 1247), and there is a corresponding half, called Nim-Bisti. See Langlois and Fonrobert (4249 et seq.).
