| Obverse description | The obverse displays the Kalima shahada and mint formula inscribed in bold Naskh-style Arabic calligraphy, arranged in three horizontal registers across the field. The uppermost register bears the declaration of faith, while the lower registers contain the mint name 'Ahmadshahi' and the regnal or Hijri date. The legends are embellished with foliate and pellet ornaments filling the interstices between strokes, characteristic of Durrani-era Afghan coinage. The flan is irregular in form, as typical of hammered gold mohurs of this period. |
