Durrani. Taimur Shah (as Sultan) gold Mohur AH 1188 Year 3 (1774/1775) MS66 NGC, Kabul mint, KM435, A-3099 (S). NGC Top Pop; one of just 10 certified examples, tied with two others for highest graded available. Earning its designation, this Jewel presents clear, flowing caligrpahy that dazzles upon a lustrous pale lemon planchet. At its height the Durrani Empire controlled modern Afghanistan with portions of Iran, Turkmenistan, Pakistan, and northwestern India. Active from the mid-18th to mid-19th centuries, the Durrani Empire saw clashes with the Mughals and Sikhs, eventually leading to Durrani suzerainty over the areas of Punjab, Sindh, and Kashmir. The Empire relied heavily on Ahmad Shah, leading to unrest and civil war after the founder's death before eventually falling to the Barakzai dynasty.
