Afghanistan, Civic Copper, hand holding a sword

[capnbirdseye]

Not sure if this one is unrecorded,  the date is AH 1293, (1876 AD) struck at the time of Sher Ali Khan a couple of years before the Second Anglo-Afghan War

One more nice coin 
A similar type has been listed by S.Album / Auction 15 (jan.2013) / lot 758 / Album ref A325.
In the description it is attributed to Qandahar as a variety of Valentine 84-85 (a coin with the  "Hand of Abbas"), but I don't think so, the "hand holding a sword" is of a different type.
I possess 2 ex of this coin dated as yours 1293, unfortunately without a clear mint
I don't know if wether the word under the date is a part of "Qandahar" or "balad" (or baldat) = "city", (which I've never seen as epithet for Qandahar/Ahmadshahi...) .

Another nice one although the sword appears to extend both sides of the hand 

Stan Goron thought mine might be Ahmadshahi but rather unsure

Dear Saro, the mint place of your coin looks like "zarb Balada ضرب بلدا ", the town Balada is in Wilayat-e Qandahar; Balada is also known as Baladay, Baladeh.

Thank you Maythem, I was not sure to read "balad" or "balada" as you suggest.
Nevertheless, no coins are known from this place near Qandahar and as "balad" also means "city", I think" that the mint name could be " balad Ahmadshahi" ?
I join a picture of one of my coins which shows (it seems...) " ..lad...sha..." (and may be "Ahm..."in front ??)

You are right Saro, it was just a thought from my side.
