Interesting fact
The 1 Rupee coin from the Emirate of Afghanistan, minted in 1897 during the reign of Abdur Rahman, is interesting because it was made of silver (.900) and weighed 9.2 grams. This is notable because it was a time when many coins were made of less valuable metals, and the use of silver in the coin's minting process indicates the value placed on it by the Afghan government at the time. Additionally, the fact that it was a standard circulation coin means that it was widely used in everyday transactions, making it a unique piece of Afghanistan's monetary history.
