Interesting fact
The 1 Falus coin from the Emirate of Afghanistan, minted in 1268 (1852), features an interesting blend of Islamic and Western influences in its design. The obverse side bears the inscription "Dost Muhammad" in Persian, while the reverse side features a stylized depiction of a lion, which was a common motif in 19th-century European coinage. This blending of cultural elements reflects the complex history and cultural exchange that has shaped Afghanistan over the centuries.
