| Additional information |
Kabul issued its own copper coinage intermittently as a local civic currency, distinct from the broader Afghan dynastic issues circulating under the Durrani rulers. This piece falls in the chaotic interregnum following the death of Shah Shuja's brief first reign, when central authority over coinage was weak enough that city-level minting became a practical necessity rather than a political statement.
