1 Rupee - Ahmad Shah

Ahmad Shah Durrani founded his empire in 1747 following the assassination of Nader Shah, and the rupee coinage struck during these early years was essential to legitimizing his rule across a territory stretching from Khorasan to the Punjab. The mints at Kabul, Kandahar, and Peshawar all struck rupees in his name, and attributing a specific piece to its mint of origin often requires close examination of calligraphic style rather than explicit mint marks.
