Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Rupee - Abdur Rahman 1318 (1901) coin from the Emirate of Afghanistan is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Western influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features an inscription in Persian script, while the reverse side features a depiction of a crowned lion, which was a common motif in Western coinage at the time. This blending of styles reflects the complex cultural and political history of Afghanistan during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
