Summary
| Description |
English: AFGHANISTAN, Second Anglo-Afghan War. Occupation of Qandahar. AH 1296-1298 / AD 1878-1880. Æ Fulus (14.5mm, 4.81 g, 3h). Qandahar mint. Dated AH [129]6 (AD 1878/9). Crown within wreath / Arabic inscription in four lines. SICA 9, 1080; Spencer-Smith, Crown p. 209, fig. 1; Album 3253 note; KM 94. VF, brown surfaces. Rare.
Bears a British crown within wreath on the obverse, and an Arabic inscription in four lines on the reverse. These issues were struck under local authorities who routinely recalled and devalued the coppers. This abusive practice lead to a great variety of types, often featuring various animal or flower motifs. Accordingly, the types on this coin were likely not ordered by the occupation authorities, but rather placed by an opportunistic engraver eager to please the occupiers. |
