1 Rupee - Taimur Shah Dera Mint

Taimur Shah inherited the Durrani throne in 1772 following the death of Ahmad Shah, but his hold on it was never secure — regional governors defied him routinely, and the empire Ahmad Shah had carved from the ruins of Nader Shah's domain was already fragmenting at its edges. The Dera mint, located in what is now Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, operated as one of several provincial mints the Durranis relied on precisely because centralized striking at Kandahar or Kabul was chronically disrupted by campaign and rebellion.

The 1758 date raises an immediate problem: Taimur did not reign until 1772. KM#318 attributions carrying early dates likely reflect the Durrani practice of continuing a regnal era or die from Ahmad Shah's reign, a known source of confusion in this series.
