| Obverse description | Multi-line Arabic-script inscription fills the field, rendered in a bold and somewhat crude naskh style characteristic of provincial Afghan hammered coinage. The legend references the ruler Habibullah and the mint city of Herat, distributed across several lines within the coin's irregular flan. A circular border frames the inscription, though the flan edges are noticeably irregular due to the hand-struck production method. Patches of green cuprite patina are visible across the surface, consistent with the coin's copper composition and age. |
