Afghanistan 2 Afghanis 2004

The 2004 2 Afghanis coin, issued by the Central Bank of Afghanistan, is part of a series of monetary reforms implemented in the early 2000s to stabilize the country’s economy after decades of conflict and financial crises. After the fall of the Taliban regime in 2001, Afghanistan sought to rebuild its institutions and strengthen its currency, and the introduction of the reformed Afghani was a central part of this effort.
On the obverse of the coin, the coat of arms of Afghanistan is present, which includes a mosque with the mihrab facing Mecca, surrounded by branches of wheat and inscriptions in Persian. The coat of arms symbolizes the importance of religion, agriculture and national unity. The inscription “Da Afghanistan Bank” is also present, representing the currency’s issuing authority.
The reverse of the coin displays the value “2 Afghanis” in the center, with the year of minting (2004) and the corresponding Islamic year (1425). The design is simple but functional, reflecting the focus on practicality and accessibility during the country’s reconstruction period.
Minted in stainless steel, the coin has a diameter of 23 mm and light weight, making it one of the denominations for daily use. The 2004 2 Afghani coin symbolizes the attempt to create a more stable and functional economy amid the renaissance of post-conflict Afghanistan.
