Interesting fact
The 1 Rupee coin from the Emirate of Afghanistan, minted during the reign of Sher Ali (1869-1870), is interesting because it was made of silver, which was a rare and valuable metal at the time. This coin was also issued during a time of great change and political upheaval in Afghanistan, as the country was transitioning from a tribal society to a modern nation-state. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin's design and production demonstrate the country's commitment to modernization and economic development.
