Afghanistan 10000 Afghanis 1993

The 10,000 Afghani note issued in 1993 by the Central Bank of Afghanistan is a symbol of the serious economic crisis that the country was facing at the time, marked by hyperinflation and the civil war that followed the Soviet withdrawal in 1989. During the early 1990s, the The Afghan economy was collapsing, and rising banknote denominations reflected the currency's rapid devaluation.

On the obverse of the note, an image of the Darul Aman Palace, an iconic building located on the outskirts of Kabul, stands out. The palace, built in the 1920s to symbolize the modernization of Afghanistan, was in ruins in the 90s, a victim of armed conflicts.
