| Reverse description | Central field bearing bold Arabic inscription in two registers divided by a horizontal line, with the mint name 'Herat' (هرات) and the term 'zarb' (ضرب, meaning 'struck') prominently displayed in large naskh characters. Decorative pellet and floral ornaments appear in the margins and corners of the inscription panel, typical of Afghan provincial coinage of this period. The overall composition follows the standard Durrani rupee format, with all design elements rendered in raised relief against a stippled or plain ground. |
