Interesting fact
The 3 Shahi - Amanullah 1298 (1919) coin from the Emirate of Afghanistan is interesting because it features a unique blend of Islamic and Western influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features a depiction of a mosque, while the reverse side bears the image of a crowned lion, which was a common motif in Western coinage at the time. This blending of design elements reflects the cultural exchange and influences that occurred during the reign of Amanullah Khan, who ruled Afghanistan from 1919 to 1929 and sought to modernize the country.
