Interesting fact
The 1 Rupee - Ahmad Shah (Anwala) 1173 (1760) coin from Afghanistan made of Silver weighing 11.13 g is interesting because it is one of the few coins from Afghanistan that was made of silver during that time period. Most coins from that era were made of copper or other base metals, so the use of silver in this coin makes it stand out. Additionally, the fact that it was issued during the reign of Ahmad Shah Durrani, also known as Ahmad Shah Abdali, who was the ruler of the Durrani Empire, makes it a valuable piece for collectors and historians.
