Reverse description Central field features a stylised mosque or mihrab design in raised relief, a motif closely associated with Afghan royal coinage of the Habibullah era. The architectural device is rendered in a simplified, schematic manner typical of Kabul Mint hand-engraving practices. A circular border of dots or a linear rim frames the design. The legend, likely referencing the denomination or the ruler's name, appears in the lower portion of the field in Arabic script. The irregular flan and hand-finished striking technique lend the coin a characteristic artisanal quality.
