| Additional information |
Taimur Shah moved the Afghan capital from Kandahar to Kabul in 1776, a political consolidation that reshaped the Durrani Empire's administrative geography and affected where coinage carried practical weight. The Ahmadshahi mint — named in honor of his father Ahmad Shah Durrani, founder of the empire — continued operating under Taimur's long twenty-year reign, one of the more stable minting periods the early Durrani state produced.
Durrani gold mohurs of this type were struck to the Mughal weight standard, a deliberate choice that eased trade across the porous eastern frontier with territories still using Mughal-derived currency systems.
