| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field features two stylized leaves flanking a sword, rendered in the decorative tradition of early nineteenth-century Afghan hammered coinage. The design elements are arranged symmetrically within the irregular flan, with the sword positioned vertically between the foliate motifs. Arabic script legend surrounds or accompanies the central device, identifying the issuing authority and mint. The strike is characteristic of hand-hammered provincial coinage, resulting in uneven relief and flan irregularities. This corresponds to the KM#55.2 variety. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Mahmud Shah's second reign (1809–1818) was propped up almost entirely by Fath Khan, the powerful Barakzai vizier who held the kingdom together by force of personality alone. When Mahmud had Fath Khan blinded and then executed in 1818, he triggered a fraternal revolt among the two dozen Barakzai brothers that effectively ended Durrani rule over most of Afghanistan. This falus, struck the year before that collapse, comes from the last functional period of the Kabul mint under Mahmud's authority.
The three KM subvarieties reflect die inconsistencies common to Afghan copper of this period — the Kabul mint was never a precision operation, and minor legend and flan variations accumulated issue to issue without systematic correction.
