Interesting fact
The 1 Paisa coin from Habibullah 1331 (1913) is interesting because it features a unique blend of Islamic and Western influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features the image of a mosque, while the reverse side bears the image of a crown, which was a common feature of European coins at the time. This blending of design elements reflects the cultural exchange and influences that were present in Afghanistan during the early 20th century.
