If you are referring to the rightfully guided Caliphs, who came right after the death of the Prophet Muhammad (S), then the last one, Hasan ibn Ali (RA) died in the year 50 After Hijra. There is debate about whether he or Ali ibn Abi Talib, his father, is the last of the rightfully guided Khalifas. Ali died in 40 AH. The Caliphate, however, was never officially abolished until the year 1924 AD, or 1343 AH. The last Caliph, Abdulmecid the second of the Ottoman Empire, was forced to abolish his title upon the formation of the Republic of Turkey.
