Reverse description Central device depicts a stylized mosque or domed structure with vertical minarets, rendered in a schematic, folk-art manner typical of Kabul copper falus coinage of this period. The architectural motif is framed by a prominent dotted border forming a crescent or arch shape around the upper field, with scroll terminals at the base. The flan is irregular and the strike somewhat flat in areas, consistent with hand-hammered production techniques of early 19th-century Afghanistan.
