| Beschrijving voorzijde | Irregular square hammered copper flan bearing a bold Arabic inscription in the field. The legend reads 'ضرب قندهار' (Zarb Qandahar, meaning 'struck at Qandahar'), rendered in a cursive Naskh-influenced script with prominent diacritical dots scattered throughout the field. The lettering is raised in relief against a coarsely textured, granulated ground characteristic of emergency siege coinage. The overall execution is crude but legible, consistent with hastily produced military necessity issues of the late seventeenth century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Qandahar changed hands repeatedly between the Safavid and Mughal empires across the seventeenth century, and siege coinage from the region reflects those violent interruptions to normal mint operations. Emergency copper issues were struck when silver supplies were cut off or when a besieged garrison needed to pay troops and suppliers without access to imperial minting infrastructure. Attribution to Qandahar for pieces of this type remains tentative — the "possibly" in the attribution is doing real work here, as die analysis has yet to produce a definitive anchor.
