| Obverse description | The obverse features bold Nasta'liq calligraphy filling the entire field, arranged in two registers separated by a horizontal dividing line. The upper register bears the royal title and name of the issuer in large, sweeping script strokes. The lower register continues the regal legend identifying Shujah Shah Durrani. The field is adorned with small pellet ornaments distributed throughout, characteristic of Durrani-era hammered coinage. The flan is irregular and slightly scalloped at the periphery, consistent with hand-struck production. |
