This Copper Double Dinars coin was issued under Amir Khusraw Shah (AH 902-910, 1497-1505 AD), Amir of Qunduz in northern end of Afghanistan.   The size is 

29 x 29 mm, and the weight is 9.56 gr.  Big and heavy.  This type coins were minted in Qunduz City with a legend of AH 907 (1502 AD), but according to Mr. Stephen

Album, the year AH 907 is a frozen year.  Struck over previous issued coin.  

The Numista rarity index of Numista-72673, is "74".   Rare and hard to get.


Qunduz is one of the 34 provinces of Afghanistan, located in northern part of the country next to Tajikistan.  It is mostly a tribal society; it is one of Afghanistan's most

ethnically diverse provinces with many different ethnicities in large numbers living there.   The city of Kunduz serves as the capital of the province.  It borders the

provinces of Takhar, Baghlan, Samangan and Balkh, as well as Khatlon Region of Tajikistan.


Amir Khusraw Shah, a governor in Qunduz under the Timurids, proclaimed his autonomy in AH 902 (1497 AD) and ruled independently as Amir of Qunduz until AH 910

(1505 AD).  Most of his coins are denominated 2 Dinars.  They are frequently found countermarked with a devaluation to one Dinar.  The coins all feature a deer or

antelope on the obverse.
