2 Pul - Muhammed Nadir Shah

Nadir Shah seized the Afghan throne in 1929 after defeating the Tajik rebel Habibullah Kalakani, who had himself overthrown Amanullah Khan earlier that year. The small bronze fractional coinage issued under his name had a short production window by necessity — Nadir Shah was assassinated by a student at a school prize-giving ceremony in Kabul in November 1933, ending his reign after barely four years.
