Interesting fact

The 1 Paisa coin from the Emirate of Afghanistan, minted in 1920, features a unique blend of Islamic and Western influences in its design. The obverse side bears the inscription "Amanullah 1299" in Arabic script, while the reverse side features a stylized depiction of a mosque, along with the coin's denomination and year of minting in Persian script. This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex history and cultural diversity of Afghanistan during the early 20th century.
