Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Abdur Rahman Khan, also known as Ahmad Shahi, who was the Emir of Afghanistan from 1880 to 1901. He was known for his efforts to modernize and centralize the government, and this coin may have been part of those efforts.
