Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Habibullah Khan, who was the Emir of Afghanistan from 1911 to 1919. During his rule, he made efforts to modernize the country and introduce new currency, which included the minting of this silver coin. Despite his efforts, the coin did not gain much popularity and was eventually phased out. Today, it is a rare collector's item and a piece of Afghanistan's rich history.
