Interesting fact
The ½ Rupee / Qiran - Amanullah 1337 (1919) coin from the Emirate of Afghanistan (Afghanistan) is interesting because it was made of silver, which was a rare and valuable material at the time. The use of silver in coinage was a symbol of the country's wealth and prosperity, and it was a departure from the more commonly used copper or bronze coins. The fact that this coin was made of silver and weighed 4.4 grams suggests that it was a high-denomination coin that was used for large transactions, and its rarity makes it a valuable collector's item today.
