Interesting fact
The 20 Pul coin from the Kingdom of Afghanistan, minted during the reign of Muhammed Nadir Shah in 1930-1931, features a unique blend of Islamic and Western influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin bears the inscription "محمد نادر شاه افغانستان" (Muhammad Nadir Shah of Afghanistan) in Persian, while the reverse side features a stylized representation of a mosque, along with the coin's denomination and year of minting. This blend of traditional Islamic architecture and modern coinage design reflects the country's rich cultural heritage and its efforts to modernize and integrate with the global community during the early 20th century.
