Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Kamran Shah, who was the ruler of the Principality of Herat in Afghanistan from 1829 to 1839. The coin was made of silver and weighed 10.09 grams, which was a significant amount for a circulating coin at that time. Despite being a standard circulation coin, it is now a rare and valuable collector's item due to its historical significance and the limited number of coins minted during that period.
