Afghanistan
Afghanistan is an ancient country with a long history, too long for us to attempt to recount briefly here. It sits astride strategic trade routes, which probably account for the turbulence of its history dating back to its invasion by Darius the Great. It has been in the world news in recent years. We show one of the last coins from the short-lived Republic which lasted from 1973 to 1978.

Afghani Coins
Since decimalisation in 1929 under Muhammed Nadir Shah, the main Afghan denomination has been the Afghani, with 100 Puls = 1 Afghani, and 20 Afghanis = 1 Amani. In common with many moslem countries, there are usually no portraits on the coins, and they are often indecypherable to most westerners. In recent years a number of commemorative issues has been produced which also have inscriptions in English.
