Interesting fact
The 1 Rupee coin from the Emirate of Afghanistan, minted in 1902 during the reign of Habibullah Khan, features a unique blend of Islamic and Western influences in its design. The obverse side bears the inscription "Habibullah 1319" in Arabic script, while the reverse side features a crowned lion holding a sword and shield, surrounded by a wreath of leaves. This blend of Islamic calligraphy and European heraldic elements reflects the complex cultural and political history of Afghanistan during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
