Interesting fact
The 1 Habibi 1347 (1928) gold coin from the Saqqawist Emirate (Afghanistan) is interesting because it was issued during a time of great political and economic change in the country. The Saqqawist Emirate was established in 1928 by Habibullah Kalakani, also known as Bacha-i-Saqqa, who was a military commander and a former officer in the Afghan army. He overthrew the existing government and declared himself emir, but his rule was short-lived and he was eventually defeated and executed in 1929. Despite its brief existence, the Saqqawist Emirate issued a number of coins, including the 1 Habibi 1347 (1928) gold coin, which is now a rare and valuable collector's item.
