| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field dominated by bold Arabic calligraphic inscription arranged in a cruciform pattern, bearing the name and titles of Amir Sher Ali Khan. The quadrants formed by the intersecting legends are filled with decorative rosette or pellet cluster ornaments. The AH regnal year appears at the bottom of the design. The strike is characteristic of hand-struck Afghan coinage of the period, displaying an irregular flan with slightly uneven relief. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Sher Ali Khan's second reign (1868–1879) saw Afghanistan caught between Russian expansion from the north and British pressure from the south — the so-called "Great Game" at its most acute. The Kabul mint produced these rupees under conditions of chronic political instability; Sher Ali spent much of this decade negotiating and renegotiating his position with both imperial powers before ultimately granting Russia a mission to Kabul in 1878, the act that triggered the Second Anglo-Afghan War. He died in Mazar-i-Sharif in February 1879, in flight, before the war concluded.
