| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a compact Arabic calligraphic inscription in multiple lines filling the entire field, identifying the mint and regnal year. The legend 'Zarb Kabul' (struck at Kabul) appears prominently across the upper registers, with the Hijri date 1293 inscribed beneath. The hand-engraved die work displays the vigorous, somewhat compressed lettering style typical of the Kabul Mint under Amir Sher Ali Khan, with the flan exhibiting the slightly irregular outline characteristic of hammered silver coinage of this emission. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Sher Ali Khan's reign was defined almost entirely by the Great Game — the prolonged Anglo-Russian competition for influence over Central Asia that made Afghanistan a buffer state neither power could afford to let the other control. His rupees from the Kabul mint date to the years immediately preceding the Second Anglo-Afghan War, which erupted in 1878 after Sher Ali accepted a Russian diplomatic mission while refusing entry to a British one. He died in Mazar-i-Sharif in February 1879, in flight, having abdicated in favor of his son Yaqub Khan.
Coins from the final year of this issue, 1878, were struck as British forces were already massing on the frontier.
