Three letters in one sign
؋ draws an abbreviation of afghani: the Arabic letters alef, feh and ghain, which spell afgh. The alef is set low and the tail of the ghain is cut short. The whole word is افغانۍ in Pashto and افغانی in Dari, with a different last letter in each.
Which side of the number
Number formats for Dari in Afghanistan write the sign first, then a no-break space, then the amount. First means rightmost in a script that runs right to left, so ؋ is drawn on the right of the number, in an English sentence too.
The afghani took the place of the Afghan rupee in the 1920s. ₹ and ₨ are the rupee signs of today.
