Afghanistan, AE Falus (" 'aqibat al-khair "), Kabul "aqibat al-khair"

This is one with the legend between two swords, I can't find one in KM the same however
coin is from an a very old collection where they used to varnish the copper coins 

8.67g   AE21

Varnish should dissolve in acetone. It's worth a try, since the acetone is completely harmless.

I think that this falus  could have been struck at Kabul mint at time of Sher Ali ?
The script is very stylized as often on these nice afghan coins.
Reverse : good parts of "Kabul" written in toughra style ( the word "falus"is needed)+ part of a date : xx8(0) ?
may be 1280 ? which could fit with Sher Ali first reign.

[saro]

Sorry, not (12)80...it's a "7"  may be the last digit of a date ? or something else...
" 'aqibat al-khair " on obverse (not "Sher 'Ali")

Thank you saro for the lovely calligraphy    Ali was the only part I thought I could read but now you point out the rest I can see it all.
