Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the brief reign of Habibullah Kalakani, who was the ruler of the Saqqawist Emirate in Afghanistan from 1929 until his overthrow later that same year. Despite his short time in power, Kalakani's coinage has become a sought-after collector's item among numismatists due to its historical significance and limited production.
