Interesting fact
The 1 Falus coin from the Emirate of Afghanistan, minted in 1254 (1838), is interesting because it was made of copper, which was a common material for coins in the region at that time. However, it's worth noting that the use of copper for coins was gradually phased out in the later years, as other materials like silver and gold became more widely used.
