| Obverse description | Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic inscription in the traditional Naskh style, arranged in horizontal registers across the flan. The legend references the ruling authority of Mahmud Shah. Decorative floral or foliate ornaments frame the inscription above and below, characteristic of Afghan hammered coinage of the early 19th century. The coin exhibits the irregular, slightly squared flan typical of hand-struck rupees from the Herat mint. |
