Falus

正面描述	Central field features a stylized floral or foliate scroll design enclosed within a circular border. The overall composition is characteristic of the decorative aesthetic employed on Herati civic copper coinage of the Barakzai period, with raised relief elements showing bold, somewhat crude workmanship typical of locally struck hammered issues.

附加信息	Herat in 1879–1880 was caught between the competing pressures of the Second Anglo-Afghan War and Ayub Khan's increasingly autonomous governance of the city. These copper falus were issued under local authority at a moment when Kabul's central control over the region was, practically speaking, nominal. Small-denomination copper coinage of this type circulated almost exclusively in local bazaar trade — silver and gold moved through longer networks — which means surviving pieces were handled hard and often.
