The front side of the pendant appears to feature a stylised Persian/Dari/Urdu numeral or symbolic tribal emblem that resembles the number “۵” (5) surrounded by wheat/laurel motifs. Underneath, the script appears to read something close to “افغانی” (Afghani/Afghan), which strongly suggests Afghan origin or Afghan currency influence.
The reverse side contains an old emblem-style design with decorative tribal motifs and script that appears heavily worn and partially handmade, making exact translation difficult. It resembles older Afghan/Persian influenced symbolic coin art rather than a modern machine-minted readable coin.
Because the coin is aged, handmade-mounted, and naturally worn with solder/patina marks, some details are intentionally rustic and partially faded — which actually adds to the collectible tribal character and authenticity appeal.
