DURRANI: Anonymous, at Balkh, 1771-1772, AR rupee (10.96g), Balkh, AH1185, A-3096J, struck during the last period of the reign of the Durrani Ahmad Shah (1747-1772) by the local Khan at Balkh during the uncertain times between the Janids and the Durranis; 2nd known specimen (the first dated 1186, sold in our Auction 39, lot 721); countermarked rayij 1188, VF-XF, RRRR. The second part of the couplet includes "bande dar gah muhammad-e bahadur" ("slave at the time of the valiant Muhammad") presumably a reference to the Janid king Abu'l-Ghazi Muhammad Bahadur, apparently recognized either as suzerain or for potential protection in fear of a Durrani invasion.
