| Beschrijving voorzijde | A schematic, crudely rendered depiction of the Shrine of Hazrat Ali (Mazar-e Sharif), commonly known as the Blue Mosque, occupies the central field. The sanctuary is represented in a highly stylized manner characteristic of hammered Afghan copper coinage of the period, showing the arched facade and minarets of the shrine in low relief. Decorative pellets appear in the upper right field, likely representing ornamental elements of the architectural composition. The flan is irregular and the strike uneven, typical of hand-struck issues from the Qandahar mint during the reign of Amir Habibullah Khan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Habibullah Khan ruled Afghanistan from 1901 until his assassination in 1919, maintaining a careful neutrality during the First World War despite significant pressure from both the Ottoman-backed jihad movement and British India. The Qandahar mint operated intermittently and with considerably less output than Kabul, making its issues consistently scarcer across all denominations of the period.
KM#964 is frequently encountered with weak or uneven strikes — a known characteristic of Qandahar copper production, not a grade-specific flaw.
