Afghanistan 1 Afghani 2004

The 2004 1 Afghani coin, issued by the Central Bank of Afghanistan, reflects an important moment of renewal and reconstruction in the country, which was emerging from decades of internal conflicts and occupations. The Afghani is the official currency of Afghanistan, and the 2004 issuance marks the beginning of a new era, with the introduction of a series of post-Taliban economic and monetary reforms.
On the obverse of the coin, there is the coat of arms of Afghanistan, which features a mosque with the mihrab and minbar, as well as inscriptions in Arabic and Persian, symbolizing the importance of Islam in culture and national identity. The coat of arms is surrounded by branches of wheat, representing agriculture, a key sector for the country’s economy.
On the reverse, the nominal value “1 Afghani” in Persian is displayed, with the year of issue, 2004, and the corresponding Islamic year (1425). The design is simple and clean, reflecting the sobriety and functionality necessary in a period of national reconstruction.
Minted in stainless steel, with a diameter of 20 mm, this coin is part of a new generation of Afghani, introduced in 2002 to replace the old, highly devalued coin. It represents not only the country’s currency, but also a symbol of resilience and hope in times of recovery.
