Interesting fact

The 500 Afghanis coin minted in 1988 to commemorate the European Football Championship is quite unique. One interesting fact about this coin is that, despite being minted in 1988, it features the old Afghanistan coat of arms, which was replaced in 1980. This suggests that the coin was likely minted before the political changes in Afghanistan in 1980, but was not released until later. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in Afghanistan's history and football memorabilia.
