Interesting fact
The 1 Falus coin from Kabul (Afghan Cities) was minted during the reign of King Mohammad Akbar Khan, also known as Amir Abdullah Khan, who ruled Afghanistan from 1823 to 1839. This coin was part of a new currency system introduced by the king to replace the old currency, which had become devalued due to excessive minting. The 1 Falus coin was equivalent to 1600 old rupees and was intended to be used as a standard unit of currency throughout the country.
