Interesting fact

The 20 Paisa coin from the Saqqawist Emirate (Afghanistan) made of Copper and weighing 5.7 g is interesting because it was minted during the brief reign of Habibullah Kalakani, who was the last ruler of the Saqqawist Emirate. He came to power in 1929 and was overthrown later the same year, making coins from his reign relatively rare and sought after by collectors.
