Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afghan_rupee mentions two local rupees in this period and equivalences are mentioned here https://www.iranicaonline.org/articles/afghani-afgani-the-unit-of-currency-in-modern-afghanistan (but I suppose they are approximate and varied over in time):
- Kabuli Rupee = 2 Krans = 3 Abbasis = 12 Shahis = 60 Paisas / Falus
- Kandahari Rupee = 36 Paisas
Considering that I do not collect old coins and I do not know anything about these coins… I do not know if the following makes sense.
What if different currencies are created to group related coins? For example:
- Kabuli Rupee
