| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse field is entirely occupied by a densely composed Persian-script legend in flowing Nasta'liq calligraphy, arranged in four hemistich lines radiating around a central floral or foliate cartouche. The central motif consists of an ornate lobed medallion containing interlaced calligraphic elements. The surrounding field bears the poetic couplet invoking divine authority and praising Ahmad Shah, with the royal name prominently integrated into the composition. The die-work is characteristic of the Durrani hammered tradition, with bold, deeply incised strokes and slight flan irregularity typical of hand-struck coinage of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ahmad Shah Durrani founded his empire in 1747 following the assassination of Nader Shah, and his coinage was central to asserting legitimacy over a territory stretching from eastern Persia to the Punjab. The Durrani rupee deliberately echoed Mughal weight standards — the 11.5g specification was no accident but a calculated move to ensure acceptance in markets long accustomed to Mughal silver.
KM#283.1 is distinguished from related varieties by its specific mint attribution. Ahmad Shah operated multiple mints across his domains, and die-linked specimens have helped researchers trace the administrative reach of Kandahar's central authority during his later campaigns into northern India.
