The Afghan rupee was the currency of Afghanistan until 1925. Before 1891, silver rupees circulated with copper falus and gold mohur. The three metals had no fixed exchange rate between them, with different regions issuing their own coins.
This infobox shows the latest status before this currency was rendered obsolete.
In 1891, a new currency was introduced, based on the Kabuli rupee. The rupee was subdivided into 60 paisa, each of 10 dinar. Other denominations issued included the shahi of 5 paisa, the sanar of 10 paisa, the abbasi of 20 paisa, the qiran of 1⁄2 rupee and the tilla and later the amani, both of Rs. 10/-. The rupee was replaced in 1925 by the Afghani, which is the currency today, but continued to be in circulation until 1978.
The rupee itself was first issued by Pashtun monarch Sher Shah Suri during his rule of northern India in the sixteenth century; India still uses its own variant of the rupee (along with Pakistan - seePakistani rupee - since its creation in 1947), whereas Afghanistan does not.
