| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse bears a multi-line Arabic script inscription arranged in a cartouche-like format, likely recording the mint name Herat and a regnal or hijri date. The legends are executed in a cursive Naskh hand, with decorative floral or vegetal elements filling the remaining field. A dotted border surrounds the design. The strike is characteristic of hand-hammered Afghan falus coinage, resulting in some weakness and irregularity across the flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Herat operated as a semi-autonomous minting center through much of the Safavid and later Durrani and Barakzai periods, and its copper falus coinage circulated almost entirely at the local level — ignored by imperial monetary accounting yet essential to daily bazaar transactions. The lion and peacock pairing as a device type is unusual enough within the broader Afghan-Persian copper series that Zeno cataloguers have noted multiple die variants, suggesting sustained if irregular production across generations rather than a single mint episode.
