Afghan rupee — Kabuli account unit
FTM000296 · Research draft
A documented account-unit or currency-system transition supports this predecessor identity; not admitted from a specimen or inherited label alone.
One scoped currency identity. Changes to subdivisions, scale, standard, instruments or issuers do not by themselves create children. A distinct account unit can remain a successor.
Dated observations: 1925–1926; this does not establish the entire lifetime.
Parents / predecessors
No distinct predecessor currency is established in the loaded view.

The afghani standards introduced in 1925–1926 replaced Kabuli-rupee reckoning. Later afghani rescalings remain within the modern currency profile.
