The 1 Paisa coin from the Emirate of Afghanistan, minted in 1916 during the reign of Habibullah Khan, features a unique blend of Islamic and Western influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin bears the inscription "Habibullah 1334" in Arabic script, while the reverse side features a stylized depiction of a mosque, symbolizing the country's Islamic heritage.
