The balkh variety of this coin is highly sought after by collectors of world coins, particularly those with an interest in Middle Eastern numismatics.

The Battle of Ghazni took place in the city of Ghazni in central Afghanistan on Tuesday, July 23, 1839, during the First Anglo-Afghan War. The battle resulted in English victory. This civic coin has been C marked with Ghanznayn on one side and an impression which resembles the Union Jack (English flag) on the other side. Perhaps it was countermarked upon occupation of the city of Ghazni by the English. If so, it would be one of the earliest English Cmarks on Afghan Civic coinage.....#NumisHobbyShop...
