Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the brief reign of Habibullah Kalakani, who was the ruler of the Saqqawist Emirate in Afghanistan for only a few months in 1929. Despite his short tenure, he managed to issue a small number of coins, including this 1 Rupee coin, which has become a rare and sought-after collector's item.
