Interesting fact
The 1 Tilla coin from the Kingdom of Afghanistan, minted in 1934 during the reign of Muhammed Zahir Shah, is an interesting piece of numismatic history. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it was made of .900 gold, which is a relatively high gold content for a circulating coin. This makes it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists and coin enthusiasts. Additionally, the coin's design features a portrait of King Zahir Shah on one side and the Afghanistan coat of arms on the other, which adds to its historical and cultural significance.
