This specimen was lot 3619 in Stephen Album sale 50 (Santa Rosa, CA, September 2024), where it sold for $108. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "[[Afghanistan|AFGHANISTAN]]: Habibullah Ghazi, 1929, AR qiran (= 1/2 rupee), AH1348, his name, with the title khadem-i din-i rasul Allah // mosque; denomination above the reverse, choice About Unc, R, ex Hakim Hamidi Collection." Coins of this period are sometimes dated on the traditional Muslim calendar, or on the Solar Hegira calendar, as here, which starts on the same date as the traditional Hegira calendar but uses solar years rather than lunar years. Wikipedia comments, <blockquote>"Habibullah Kalakani (Dari: حبیب‌الله کلکانی‎, 19 January 1891 – 1 November 1929), was the ruler of Afghanistan from 17 January to 13 October 1929, as well as a leader of the Saqqawists. During the Afghan Civil War, he captured vast swathes of Afghanistan and ruled Kabul during what is known in Afghan historiography as the "Saqqawist period". He was an ethnic Tajik. No country recognized Kalakani as ruler of Afghanistan. During the Afghan Civil War (1928–1929), he contested the Afghan throne with Amanullah Khan. After defeating Amanullah, he was eventually defeated by Mohammed Nadir Shah."</blockquote> Habibullah Ghazi, presumably representing the conservative element rebelling against Amanullah's modernizing policy, struck coinage in the old style. The SCWC attributes this coin to his successor Muhammad Nadir Shah but we side with the auctioneers.
