Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Abdur Rahman, who was the first king of Afghanistan and ruled from 1880 to 1901. He was known for his efforts to modernize and centralize the government, and the minting of this coin was likely a part of those efforts.
