Interesting fact
The 1 Rupee coin from Afghanistan, issued during the reign of Ahmad Shah (Muradabad) in 1173-1174 (1760-1761), is interesting because it was made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material at the time. This coin was also relatively heavy, weighing 11.30 grams, which made it a substantial piece of currency. Additionally, the fact that it was a standard circulation coin suggests that it was widely used in everyday transactions, making it a piece of history that was closely tied to the daily lives of people in Afghanistan during that time period.
