One hundred afghanis dated 1398 in the Solar Hijri calendar (2019) is a late date of the type issued after the 2002 reform. The 2002 reform removed three zeros from the afghani, and Da Afghanistan Bank issued new money in values from 1 to 1,000 afghanis.
On the front, beside the bank's seal, is Kabul's Pul-e Khishti Mosque, and the back shows the arch of the Qala-i-Bost fortress near Lashkar Gah. Both subjects are familiar from the money of the 1990s: the mosque was on the 5,000 afghanis and the arch on the 10,000 afghanis of 1993.
This design outlived several changes of power: the hundred with the same subject was printed from 1381 to 1401 (2002–2022), with only the dates and signatures changing. Above the design always stands the bank's seal with horsemen and a cornucopia, an emblem that first appeared on the money in 1358 (1979).
For an Afghanistan collection this is one of the last dates of a long-lived type and a bridge between the money of the 1990s and of the 21st century. UNC condition means the note has never circulated: no folds, no wear, no soiling, even corners — just as it left the press.
A collection can grow in any direction, and the VPcoins catalogue has options for each of them.
