Iam no linguist, but I believe the alphabet is Pashto/Dari , as these are the predominant languages in Afghanistan.

Thank you all. Language on the stamp, I think - it's a Farsi.

I would guess that " 300" is a date: first number was often omitted. If so, this will be 1882-1883. Fits.

Until 1919, in Afghanistan on the coins and weapons were placed on the lunar Hijri date and it turns out in 1891, and after 1919 in Afghanistan began to use solar hijrah and the translation work - 1930. But, this is not true.
