Additional information

Muhammed Nadir Shah seized power in October 1929 after helping to defeat Habibullah Kalakani, the Tajik insurgent who had briefly ousted Amanullah Khan. This copper issue belongs to his immediate consolidation period — he was assassinated by a student in November 1933, leaving a reign of barely four years. The KM#918 type was struck at the Kabul mint, which operated with inconsistent quality control throughout this period, and roller alignment problems on this denomination are well documented among collectors of Afghan material.
