Interesting fact

The 1 Abbasi - Amanullah 1299 (1920) coin from the Emirate of Afghanistan is interesting because it was issued during a time of great change and political upheaval in the country. The coin was minted in 1920, just a year after King Amanullah Khan had declared Afghanistan's independence from British influence and established the Emirate of Afghanistan. This was a significant moment in Afghanistan's history, as it marked the beginning of the country's transition towards modernization and independence. The coin is a tangible reminder of this important period in Afghanistan's history.
