| Obverse description | Irregular hammered copper flan bearing a multi-line Arabic inscription filling the field, executed in a bold cursive Naskh-Nasta'liq script typical of Durrani-era coinage. The legend, likely referencing the ruler Taimur Shah and his titles, is distributed across three lines within a plain circular border. Decorative pellet ornaments are interspersed between the lines of text, a characteristic feature of Afghan falus coinage of this period. The relief is bold and slightly uneven due to the primitive hammered striking technique. |
