| Reverse description | Arabic legend in multiple lines occupying the reverse field, giving the mint name and AH date. The inscription is struck in a bold, somewhat crude hand consistent with provincial Afghan hammered coinage of the mid-17th century. The flan is irregular and in some examples is formed by folding a thin sheet of copper, resulting in a distinctly uneven surface. The lettering is the primary decorative element, with no additional figural imagery. Border treatment is minimal and consistent with the rough flan preparation characteristic of this series. |
