Interesting fact
The 5 Rupees coin from the Emirate of Afghanistan, minted in 1902 during the reign of Habibullah Khan, features a unique blend of Islamic and Western design elements. The obverse side of the coin bears the inscription " Habibullah 1319" in Arabic script, while the reverse side features a crowned lion holding a shield with the Afghan flag, surrounded by a wreath of roses. This coin is notable for its historical significance, as it was minted during a time of great political and social change in Afghanistan, as the country transitioned from a tribal society to a modern nation-state. Additionally, the use of silver in the coin's composition adds to its value and rarity, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
