Interesting fact
The 1 Abbasi (20 Paisa) coin from the Emirate of Afghanistan, minted in 1896 during the reign of Abdur Rahman, is interesting because it was made of silver (.500) and weighed 3.11 grams, which was a significant change from the previous coinage system that used copper and bronze. This change in material and weight was likely due to the country's shift towards a more modern and standardized currency system.
