Afghan Civic Copper, AE fulus, Khanabad, 1301AH

Afghan civic copper (AE) fulus struck at Khanabad, dated 1301 AH (1883–1884 AD)

A locally issued copper fulus produced for everyday circulation in northern Afghanistan during the late 19th century, reflecting the decentralized nature of Afghan provincial minting in this period

Such civic fulus issues were struck primarily for local transactional use and often show considerable variation in style, weight, and engraving quality. Coins of this type typically lack ruler names, instead relying on mint attribution and date to assert legitimacy. The mint of Khanabad, an important regional center in northern Afghanistan, played a notable role in supplying small-denomination copper currency for local markets
