Additional information

Mahmud Shah's first reign lasted only two years before his half-brother Shuja al-Mulk seized the Kabul throne in 1803, making issues attributable to this window genuinely scarce by any production standard. The Durrani empire was fracturing under pressure from internal succession disputes that would consume the Barakzai and Sadozai factions for decades — coinage production was hardly the administration's primary concern.
