Interesting fact
The Falus coin from the City of Herat (Afghan Cities) made of Copper weighing 5.5g has an interesting fact that it was minted during the reign of Amir Abdur Rahman Khan, who was the Emir of Afghanistan from 1880 to 1901. He was known for his efforts to modernize and centralize the government, and the minting of this coin was a part of his efforts to create a standardized currency for the country.
