| Reverse description | The reverse bears an Arabic inscription in Naskh script arranged within the field, recording the mint name Qandahar and the AH date 1058 (AD 1648). The legend is distributed across the flan in a manner typical of provincial hammered fulus coinage, with individual words occupying separate registers. The strike is characteristically uneven, leaving portions of the legend weak or partially off-flan, a feature common to this issue as noted by Album. The field surface shows typical granular texture resulting from the folded-flan production technique, with areas of cuprite patination visible. |
