Interesting fact
The Falus coin from the City of Peshawar (Afghan Cities) made of Copper weighing 10.3 g has an interesting fact that it was used as a currency during the reign of King Ahmed Shah Durrani, also known as Ahmad Shah Abdali, who was the ruler of the Durrani Empire in the 18th century. He was known for his military conquests and his reign marked the beginning of the Afghan Empire. The coin is a symbol of the rich history and cultural heritage of Afghanistan during that time.
