| Reverse description | Hammered silver flan with a multi-line Persian/Arabic inscription in nastaliq script filling the field, divided into upper and lower registers by a raised horizontal line. The legend records the mint name Attock (اٹک) and the regnal year in the Hijri calendar, consistent with standard Durrani rupee reverse typology. The script is boldly struck but shows slight weakness toward the irregular flan edges, typical of hand-hammered coinage of this period. Patina is consistent with the obverse, displaying silver-grey toning with localized blue discoloration. |
