| Beschrijving voorzijde | Hammered, irregularly shaped silver flan bearing a bold Arabic-script legend in the field. The inscription records the regnal name of the ruler, Hussain Yafar Khan, distributed across the face in characteristic Indian Islamic calligraphic style. The Hijri date 1287 appears prominently in the lower portion of the field, rendered in Eastern Arabic numerals. The striking is typical of late-period princely-state hammered coinage, with slightly uneven borders and a granular, handmade surface texture. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Cambay's coinage was always marginal — the state's trading importance had been in steep decline since the silting of its harbor rendered the port nearly unusable by the mid-nineteenth century. By 1870, the Nawabs were issuing coins more as a function of retained nominal sovereignty under the British Paramountcy system than any genuine monetary need. Hussain Yafar Khan ruled from 1862 until his death in 1880, and pieces attributable to his reign surface rarely enough that clean attribution remains contested among specialists.
The KM unlisted status is unsurprising — Cambay's fractional silver is chronically underrepresented in the standard references.
