Additional information

Nadir Shah seized the Afghan throne in 1929 after ousting Habibullah Kalakani, and his brief reign saw a deliberate effort to restabilize a monetary system badly disrupted by years of civil conflict. The 10 Pul was part of a modest recoinage program intended to restore confidence in small-denomination circulation, which had effectively collapsed during the preceding power struggle.

Nadir Shah was assassinated in November 1933, mid-series. Later dates in this run were struck under his son Zahir Shah, though the obverse type was retained through the transition.
