| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a large, boldly struck Arabic legend rendered in a flowing calligraphic style characteristic of Afghan hammered coinage of the early 19th century. The inscription is surrounded by a decorative floral or pellet border, with vegetal and scrolling ornamental motifs filling the peripheral field. The strike is typical of hand-struck provincial coinage, exhibiting slight irregularity in flan shape and surface texture. |
