| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central device depicting a stylized flower or rosette set within a rounded bulb or calyx, rendered in low relief with broad, sweeping petals radiating from a central point. The design is boldly struck relative to the obverse, with the floral motif filling the field and surrounded by a plain, unbordered rim. The crude hammered execution and the irregular flan edge are characteristic of locally produced Balkh copper coinage of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Balkh — the ancient Bactrian capital Alexander called "mother of cities" — was by 1806 a shadow of its former self, a provincial outpost within the Durrani Empire nominally controlled by Kabul but functionally autonomous for stretches at a time. Municipal copper issues like this falus circulated where central authority was thin and Kabul's coins didn't reliably reach, filling a transactional gap at the bazaar level that larger political entities simply ignored.
