Interesting fact
The 1 Rupee coin from Afghanistan, minted during the reign of Zaman Shah (Kashmir) in 1211-1213 (1797-1799), is interesting because it was made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material at the time. This coin was also relatively heavy, weighing 10.40 grams, which made it a substantial piece of currency. Additionally, the fact that it was a standard circulation coin suggests that it was widely used in everyday transactions, making it a tangible piece of history that connects us to the past.
