| Additional information |
Kohandil Khan ruled Qandahar as one of the Barakzai brothers who carved up Afghanistan following the collapse of Durrani Sadozai power in the 1820s. This rupee was struck at the Ahmadshahi mint — named for Ahmad Shah Durrani, founder of the Afghan empire — a deliberate act of political messaging by a dynasty keen to claim continuity with the Durrani legacy while having effectively displaced it. Qandahar as an independent principality was absorbed into Dost Mohammad Khan's unified Afghan emirate shortly after Kohandil's death in 1855.
