Interesting fact
The 5 Afghanis coin from 1980 features a unique design that reflects the country's cultural and historical heritage. On one side, it depicts a stylized image of the Afghanistan flag, while the other side features a portrait of King Mohammad Zahir Shah, who ruled the country from 1933 to 1973. This coin is interesting because it represents a time of transition for Afghanistan, as it was issued during the reign of the communist government that took power in 1978, but still bears the image of the former king. Additionally, the coin's copper-nickel composition and 7.5g weight make it stand out from other coins of its time.
