Interesting fact
The 1 Paisa coin from the Emirate of Afghanistan, minted in 1911 during the reign of Habibullah Khan, features a unique blend of Islamic and Western influences in its design. The obverse side bears the inscription "Habibullah 1329" in Arabic script, while the reverse side features a stylized depiction of a mosque, symbolizing the country's Islamic heritage. At the same time, the coin's brass composition and weight of 4.42 grams reflect the influence of Western standards in coinage, as brass was a commonly used material for coins in Europe during that period. This blend of cultural and technological influences makes the 1 Paisa coin an interesting and unique piece of numismatic history.
