| Reverse description | The reverse displays multi-line Arabic calligraphic inscriptions in Naskh script arranged in horizontal registers across the coin field, recording the mint name (Kashmir), the regnal year, and the AH date. Decorative dot rosettes punctuate the field between legend lines, a characteristic ornamental feature of Durrani coinage struck at the Kashmir mint. The bold, deeply incised legends fill the flan edge to edge, consistent with the hammered production technique. Slight misalignment of the die is visible at the coin's periphery, characteristic of hand-struck issues of this period. |
