1 amani = 10 rupees
Interesting fact
The 1 Amani coin from the Emirate of Afghanistan, minted in 1920, is interesting because it was made of .900 gold and weighed 4.60 grams, which was a significant departure from the standard coinage of the time, which was typically made of silver or copper. This coin's unique composition and weight made it stand out and has contributed to its collectibility among numismatists today.
