Qunduz 2 Dinar Fine

Qunduz (Kunduz) is one of the 34 provinces of modern day Afghanistan and borders on what is now Tajikistan. These low denomination 2 dinar coins were issued under Khusraw Shah, who was once Governor of Qunduz under the Timurid Empire, but he later declared himself Emir in 1497 and reigned until his death in 1505. On the obverse of the coin is a deer facing left, while on the reverse a 3-line legend within a diamond shaped border. These circulated coins are now over 500 years old and very hard to find.
