Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and political upheaval in Afghanistan. The Emirate of Afghanistan was established in 1919, and Amanullah Khan, the ruler at the time, introduced a number of modernizing reforms, including the adoption of a new currency. This coin, bearing Amanullah's name and dated 1298-1299 (1919-1920), represents a significant moment in Afghanistan's history as the country transitioned from a traditional Islamic state to a modern, secular nation.
