After a long time, a nice civic copper.
It has been struck over a folded planchet.
Looks similar to Val. 18 P.173

Size: 21X16mm
Weight: 9.00gr

Very little to go on. The scimitar (usually two) Zulfiqar is a well-known symbol, so I doubt it can contribute to identification, but the flower in circle might help.

An unidentified coin is a piece of metal. An identified coin is a piece of history.

Thank you for your comment Peter.
It looks very similar to the reference I mentioned from Valentine - although I am not sure that one has been struck on a folded flan.
So I am pretty confident that it must be from Qandahar. Most of the other coins with a folded flan seem also to be from Qandahar.

No doubt, it's well the falus 18 of Valentine  :)
