1340 (1961) Afghanistan 1 Afghani!


Another example of an old non-silver dollar coin. The Afghani was divided into 100 Pul and even in the 1960's it was worth relatively little. This coin is nickel clad steel and quarter sized which means back in the day, if we had been issuing a dollar coin, our dollar would have crushed theirs. It features the denomination and wheat a its main designs along with the date and some other words. It's worth about $0.10 for the wear, the black stuff, and the corrosion of sorts under the 1 on the obverse.
