| Obverse description | Two-line Persian legend in Nastaliq script occupying the central field, bearing the ruler's name and the denomination. The inscription reads 'Zaman Shah' above and 'Falus' below, separated by a horizontal line. The flan is irregular in shape, characteristic of hammered copper coinage of the Durrani period, with a heavily granular and oxidized surface. The lettering is bold in relief against a flat, unadorned field with no border or decorative elements. |
