| Obverse description | Irregularly shaped hammered copper flan with a deeply struck Arabic legend in the field. The inscription, rendered in a bold but somewhat crude calligraphic hand characteristic of provincial Durrani mint production, occupies the central field. The planchet edges are uneven and show the typical characteristics of hand-cut copper flans. Significant green patination and surface granularity are visible throughout the field. |

| Reverse description | Irregularly shaped hammered copper flan bearing a two-line Arabic inscription in the central field. The upper line reads 'ضرب کابل' (Struck at Kabul) and the lower line records the AH mint date '١٢١٢' (1212 AH). The calligraphy is bold and somewhat roughly executed, consistent with the hammered coinage tradition of the Kabul mint under the Durrani Empire. The flan exhibits characteristic irregular edges, surface porosity, and areas of green copper corrosion. |
