| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central device depicts the royal arms of Afghanistan: a stylized mosque or minar with a domed finial flanked by two minarets, all set above two crossed cannons in the lower field. Flanking the central device are additional emblems including a sceptre and a crossed rifle, symbolic of royal and military authority. The entire design is enclosed within a wreath of laurel or olive branches tied at the base, with a fine beaded border at the rim. No legend or inscription appears in the field, the design elements alone conveying dynastic symbolism. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Habibullah Khan came to power in 1901 following the death of his father Abdur Rahman, who had ruled with an iron grip and carefully managed Afghanistan's position between British India and Tsarist Russia. Habibullah inherited that balancing act intact. His early coinage, including this rupee, was struck at the Kabul mint under conditions that produced notoriously inconsistent die alignment — many examples show significant rotation between obverse and reverse, a known characteristic of KM#840 rather than damage or mishandling.
