| Reverse description | Hammered field bearing a multi-line Arabic legend in Nasta'liq script, incorporating the Kalima (the Islamic profession of faith), the regnal year, and the mint name Ahmadshahi. The text is distributed across several horizontal registers, with the mint name and date occupying the lower portion of the flan. Diacritical points and characteristic dot clusters punctuate the inscription, consistent with the epigraphic conventions of Durrani-period Afghan coinage. |
