Interesting fact
The 1 Rupee coin from the Emirate of Afghanistan, minted in 1903 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 1320" in Arabic script, while the reverse side features a crowned lion holding a shield with the Afghan flag, surrounded by a wreath of roses. This coin was made of silver (.900) and weighs 9.0 grams. It's an interesting example of how cultural exchange and colonial influence can shape the design of currency.
