Interesting fact
The 1 Falus coin from the Emirate of Afghanistan, minted during the reign of Abdur Rahman (Khanabad) in 1301-1302 (1884-1885), is interesting because it was made of copper, a metal that was widely used in coinage during that time period. Copper was chosen for its durability, affordability, and resistance to corrosion, making it an ideal material for coins that were used frequently in everyday transactions. The use of copper in coinage also allowed for the creation of intricate designs and details, which can be seen in the ornate patterns and inscriptions on the 1 Falus coin.
