| Obverse description | The obverse displays a bold Arabic calligraphic legend in Nasta'liq script, arranged across the field in two or more lines, reading the royal mint formula attributing the coin to the authority of the ruler. The inscription is rendered in high relief against a plain field, with floral or foliate vine motifs filling the peripheral areas. The irregular flan edge, characteristic of hand-struck hammered coinage, is visible around the circumference. The overall style is consistent with the workshop tradition of early nineteenth-century Afghan rupees, where calligraphic quality serves as the primary decorative element. |
