Interesting fact
The 1 Rupee coin from Afghanistan, minted in 1227 (1812) during the reign of Shujah Shah, is interesting because it was made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material at the time. This coin was also relatively lightweight, weighing only 11.5 grams, making it easy to handle and transport. Additionally, the fact that it was a standard circulation coin suggests that it was widely used in everyday transactions, making it a significant part of the economy and daily life in Afghanistan during that time period.
