| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field occupied by bold multi-line Arabic legend arranged in a roughly square cartouche, reading the royal title and name of Amir Abdur Rahman Khan. The inscription is executed in a robust, somewhat rustic naskh hand characteristic of Herat mint production. A marginal legend in Arabic script encircles the central cartouche, running along the irregular flan periphery. The overall style is typical of late 19th-century Afghan hammered coinage, with uneven flan edges and variable relief. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Abdur Rahman Khan seized power in 1880 with direct British backing, installed as Amir immediately following the catastrophic British defeat at Maiwand — one of the worst losses suffered by British forces in the entire Second Anglo-Afghan War. The Herat mint had operated under Persian-influenced administration for decades prior, and its early coinage under Abdur Rahman reflects that transitional moment before Kabul reasserted central authority over the western provinces.
The Type 1 designation distinguishes this issue from later die revisions introduced as the Amir consolidated control over a fractured monetary system inherited from multiple competing regional authorities.
