| Obverse description | Central field features a small schematic lion passant in low relief, enclosed within a large cursive Arabic legend that sweeps around the interior of the coin in a bold, fluid Naskh or Shikasta script. The date 1295 (AH) appears in the upper portion of the field. The overall design is characteristically crude and irregular, consistent with the hand-struck provincial coinage of the Balkh mint under Amir Sher Ali Khan. |
