| Additional information |
Zaman Shah's reign was as turbulent as any in Durrani history — he spent much of it suppressing fraternal rivals, including his half-brothers Mahmud and Shuja, while simultaneously fending off pressure from the Sikhs under Ranjit Singh on the eastern frontier. His coinage was struck at multiple mints across a fractured empire, and attributing specific pieces to a single mint or year within the 1797–1799 window often requires close examination of mint marks in the margins.
He was blinded and deposed by Mahmud Shah in 1801, ending the issue abruptly.
