Afghanistan Coin List
The official currency of Afghanistan is the Afghani, which has experienced a turbulent history over the years. Afghan numismatics reflect the country's political and economic changes, offering a fascinating insight into its past and present.
Current coinage and its recent history
The current Afghani was introduced in 2002, replacing the previous version that had suffered a severe devaluation. This new currency is divided into 100 pulses and is issued in denominations ranging from 1 to 1000 Afghanis. Monetary stability has been a constant challenge due to internal conflicts and political instability, leading to significant fluctuations in its value over the years.
Monetary and numismatic history
Prior to the Afghani, Afghanistan used a variety of currencies, including the rupee during the 19th century. An important numismatic milestone was the introduction of the first Afghani in 1925 by King Amanullah Khan, marking an attempt to modernize the monetary system. Afghan coins throughout history have reflected the country's rich cultural heritage, with designs that include historical monuments, religious figures and national symbols, providing a valuable record of Afghanistan's political and cultural evolution.
