| Reverse description | The reverse likewise presents three horizontal registers of Nasta'liq script within a plain field, with no figurative imagery, conforming strictly to Islamic aniconic coinage conventions. The uppermost register bears the Kalima shahada declaration, the central register records the ruler's name and titles, and the lower register contains the mint name and additional regnal dating. Strike quality is characteristic of a hand-hammered flan, with slight weakness at the periphery. The overall design follows the standard Durrani rupee format established under Ahmad Shah Durrani. |
