| Additional information |
The Durrani Empire's grip on Kashmir was already slipping when these rupees were struck. Mahmud Shah's second reign (he had been deposed and reinstated) coincided with the aggressive expansion of Ranjit Singh's Sikh Empire, which finally seized Kashmir in 1819 — rendering this issue among the last Durrani coinage produced at the Kashmir mint before it passed permanently out of Afghan hands.
