The ten afghanis of the 1352–1356 Solar Hijri series (1973–1977) is money of the first Afghan republic. After the republic was proclaimed in 1973, as Da Afghanistan Bank itself writes, King Mohammed Zahir Shah's portrait on the notes was replaced by that of Mohammed Daoud, the country's first president, and the royal symbol gave way to the republican emblem.

Daoud appears on the front beside the coat of arms, and the back shows the arch of the Qala-i-Bost fortress near Lashkar Gah. This ten is the lowest value of the republican series; it entered circulation on 20 October 1974 and was printed with the dates 1352, 1354 and 1356.

In 1978 Daoud's republic was succeeded by the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan and the money changed its look again, so this series remains a record of a brief five-year era.

For an Afghanistan collection this is the starting piece of the republican series with Daoud's portrait, and the Qala-i-Bost arch would later return on the 1993 10,000 afghanis and on the 21st-century hundred. UNC condition means the note has never circulated: no folds, no wear, no soiling, even corners — just as it left the press.
