| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse displays a prominent central Persian inscription in bold Naskh script arranged within a square or cartouche-like framework, divided by intersecting ruled lines into quadrants filled with decorative pellets and floral motifs. The outer border features a continuous row of raised beads encircling the design. The legend identifies the mint city of Herat and includes a royal epithet of Taimur Shah, consistent with the standard Durrani reverse type. The overall composition is characteristic of the hammered rupee tradition of the Khorasan region. |

Taimur Shah Durrani, who moved the Afghan capital from Kandahar to Kabul in 1776, administered a decentralized empire that relied heavily on regional mints to sustain coinage — Herat being among the most productive. The .2 variety designation under KM#383 distinguishes Herat-struck pieces from those of other mints in the series, primarily through mint name placement and calligraphic style in the die work. Taimur's reign saw persistent pressure from both internal tribal rivalry and Qajar Iran to the west, and Herat sat directly on that fault line.
