| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field dominated by a six-pointed star (hexagram) formed by two interlocking triangles, struck in relief on the irregular flan. Within the interstices of the hexagram, the Arabic word 'Adl (عدل, meaning 'Justice') is inscribed in a bold, cursive hand. The design is characteristic of the hammered copper coinage produced at Qandahar, with the inscription filling the available spaces of the geometric device. |

Qandahar's civic coinage occupies an odd corner of Afghan numismatics — issued under municipal rather than royal authority during a period when central Kabul control over southern Afghanistan was perpetually contested. The 1879 date places this piece squarely within the Second Anglo-Afghan War, when British forces occupied Kandahar following the Battle of Ahmad Khel and held the city until 1881.
Local copper falus of this type rarely survived intact; they circulated hard in bazaar economies with no institutional reason for hoarding.
