The peacock motif on the obverse is notable for its artistic representation, which reflects cultural influences in the region. These types of coins were typically used in everyday transactions, offering insights into the local economy and governance of Qandahar during this period. The absence of a mint name is characteristic of many civic issues, yet stylistic features link it to the Qandahar mint, highlighting the uniqueness of its design and local significance.
