Weight varies from 3.1 - 6.5 gramsInteresting fact
The 1 Falus - Habibullah (Qandahar mint) 1322 (1904) coin from Emirate of Afghanistan (Afghanistan) is interesting because it features a unique blend of Islamic and Western influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features the name of the ruler, Habibullah, in Arabic script, while the reverse side features a depiction of a crowned lion, which was a common motif in Western coinage at the time. This blending of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influences that occurred during the time period in which the coin was minted.
