Interesting fact

The 2 Amani coin from the Emirate of Afghanistan, minted between 1920 and 1924, features a unique blend of Islamic and Western influences in its design. The obverse side bears the inscription "Amanullah" in Arabic script, while the reverse side features a depiction of a standing lion, a common motif in Western heraldry, surrounded by a wreath of roses. This blending of cultural elements reflects the complex history and cultural exchange that has shaped Afghanistan over the centuries.
