Interesting fact
The 1 Falus coin from 1894 has an interesting feature - it does not have a mint mark, which means it was not produced by a specific mint, but rather by a private mint or a group of minters. This was a common practice in Afghanistan during that time period, as the country did not have a centralized minting authority. Instead, coins were produced by various regional leaders and merchants, leading to a diverse range of coin designs and minting techniques.
