Shemavon (Simon) of Agulis or Shemavon Aguletsi[a] was an Iranian official of Armenian origin, who served during the reign of King (Shah) Suleiman I (r. 1666-1694).
He functioned as mint master (zarrab-bashi) of the important Erivan mint (the provincial capital of the Erivan Province) under four successive governors; Mohammadqoli Khan, Najafqoli Khan Cherkes, Abbasqoli Khan Qajar, and Safi Khan Lezgi.
[1][2] In 1670, he was appointed mint master of the Safavid capital of Isfahan by Shah Suleiman I.
[3] Shemavon was the brother of Zakaria of Agulis (i.e. Zakaria Aguletsi), a merchant of the Safavid era who is mostly remembered for his journal, an important primary source on the history of the Safavid period.
Unlike Zakaria, who stayed Christian, Shemavon was a convert to Islam.
