| Additional information |
Zahir Shah took the throne in November 1933 at nineteen years old following the assassination of his father Nadir Shah, and these early pul issues fall squarely within the period when real authority rested with his uncles — particularly Prime Minister Hashim Khan. The coinage was effectively administered by regents while the young king held ceremonial power.
Afghanistan's bronze coinage of this period was minted in Kabul under persistently inconsistent conditions, which accounts for the striking variation in planchet quality seen across surviving examples.
