| Beschrijving voorzijde | An Imperial crown occupies the central field, rendered in a stylized, bold relief characteristic of hammered coinage. The crown features arched bands adorned with pellets and a fleur-de-lis finial rising from the apex. A border of pellets frames the design around the irregular flan. The overall composition is unlettered, relying solely on the heraldic crown as the emblem of British authority during the occupation. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Qandahar fell to General Donald Stewart's forces in April 1879, and the British occupying administration struck this falus to facilitate local commerce and signal administrative control — a practical assertion of authority as much as a monetary one. The Second Anglo-Afghan War had fractured Kabul's grip on the region, and Qandahar briefly operated under a British-backed wali before the disastrous Battle of Maiwand in July 1880 forced a reassessment of the entire occupation strategy.
British withdrawal from Qandahar was completed by April 1881, making this among the shortest-lived occupation coinages of the Victorian era.
