The 1 Falus 1295 (1878) coin from the City of Qandahar (Afghan Cities) made of Copper is interesting because it features a unique blend of Islamic and Western influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features the Arabic inscription "السلطنة الأفغانية" (Afghan Empire) and the reverse side features a depiction of a crowned lion, which is a common motif in Western heraldry. This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex history and cultural exchange that occurred in Afghanistan during the 19th century.
