| Additional information |
Abdur Rahman Khan spent much of his reign — 1880 to 1901 — consolidating power after the Second Anglo-Afghan War left the country nominally independent but financially and diplomatically constrained by Britain. His coinage was one of the few instruments of sovereignty he could exercise freely, and the Kabul mint was closely managed as a result. The AH 1313–1314 rupees coincide with a period when he was simultaneously suppressing the Hazara uprisings in central Afghanistan, a campaign that consumed significant state resources.
KM#814 is distinguished from adjacent types primarily by its regnal year notation rather than design changes — the series saw minimal die variation across strikes.
