Collection: Banknotes from Afghanistan

The afghani was created in 1923 under King Amanullah Khan, but its recent history is that of a currency that has survived several governments without changing its banknotes: the Taliban, who took power in 2021, continue to use the same banknotes printed by the previous government because they have not issued a series of their own.

Two thousand afghanis for one

After years of civil war, in 2002, banknotes from various factions were in circulation at the same time: those of the Rabbani government were exchanged at a rate of 1,000 to one new afghani, and those of the Dostum faction at 2,000 to one, in a redenomination that Da Afghanistan Bank presented as a sign of stability.

Mausoleums and mosques

The banknotes feature monuments such as the Mausoleum of Ahmad Shah Durrani, considered the founder of modern Afghanistan in the 18th century, and the Blue Mosque of Mazar-e-Sharif, one of the most revered shrines in the country.
