DURRANI: Habib Allah, 1824, AR rupee, Year 1 (ahad) AH 1239 KabulInteresting fact
The 1 Rupee coin from the Emirate of Afghanistan, minted in 1824 during the reign of Habib Allah, is an interesting piece of history. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it was made of silver, which was a significant departure from the usual copper or bronze used in coinage at that time. The use of silver signified the wealth and prosperity of the Afghan Empire under Habib Allah's rule.
