| Additional information |
Kabul's municipal copper issues occupied a peculiar administrative gap — struck not by the Durrani royal mint but under local city authority during a period when Afghan coinage was fragmented across competing Barakzai sardars, the Sikh-occupied east, and a briefly installed Shah Shuja propped up by the British. The falus circulated at the absolute base of the monetary hierarchy, used for the smallest bazaar transactions that silver rupees could never practically serve.
The eighty-year span attributed to KM#4 reflects genuine uncertainty about when individual pieces were struck, not continuous uninterrupted production.
