Comment
According to Schön catalog the weight is 4.6 g, according to KM catalog it is 4.7 g.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 1930 to 1931. Despite his short tenure, Kalakani's coinage has become a sought-after collector's item among numismatists due to its historical significance and limited mintage.
