| Reverse description | The reverse bears a multi-line Arabic inscription arranged in a cursive Naskh hand, filling the central field within an arched or cartouche-like framing line near the upper margin. The legends, identifying the mint of Herat and the regnal dating, are struck in bold relief across the irregular flan. A secondary arc or border element is visible at the upper portion of the field, partially enclosing the uppermost line of text. The overall layout and calligraphic style are consistent with late nineteenth-century Afghan hammered copper coinage from the Herat mint. |
