Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Abdur Rahman Khan, also known as Abdur Rahman I, who was the Emir of Afghanistan from 1880 to 1901. He was a key figure in Afghanistan's struggle for independence and unity, and his rule marked the beginning of a period of relative stability and modernization in the country. The coin's design, featuring the date in both Islamic and Gregorian calendars, reflects the blending of traditional and modern influences that characterized Abdur Rahman's rule.
