Historical significance
This coin was issued during a period of significant political and social upheaval in Afghanistan, marked by the Soviet-Afghan War. Coins from this era reflect the government in power at the time and are part of the continuously evolving monetary history of Afghanistan. It represents a small denomination used in daily transactions.
Estimated value
Very low, typically less than $1 USD. These coins are common and generally hold more sentimental or historical value for collectors interested in Afghan numismatics or world coinage.
Care & preservation
Handle by the edges to prevent skin oils from damaging the surface. Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in an archival-safe holder such as a Mylar flip or a non-PVC coin slab. Avoid cleaning, as this can devalue the coin, especially if done improperly.
