Interesting fact
The 500 Afghanis coin minted in 1995 to commemorate the United Nations' anniversary is quite unique. One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a rare image of a Buddha statue on its reverse side. This is significant because Afghanistan is a predominantly Islamic country, and the depiction of Buddha images is not common in Islamic art or currency. The inclusion of this image highlights the country's rich cultural heritage and its efforts to promote religious tolerance and diversity.
