The series was introduced under the communist government and remained in circulation until the post-Taliban currency reform of 2002, when a new afghani was introduced at a rate of 1 new afghani = 1000 old afghanis. The 500 afghani denomination was among the higher values of this series, featuring traditional cultural imagery despite the modernizing agenda of the issuing government. → (null) reverse_subject: Arg (Presidential Palace), Kabul → (null) issuer: Da Afghanistan Bank → Banco Central condition_notes: Note shows light handling with crisp paper and good color retention; minor edge wear visible → (null) language_script: Arabic (Dari/Pashto), Latin → Latin languages: ps,fa,en → es dimensions_mm: 155x74 → (null) themes: transport,indigenous_culture,architecture → statesman series_range: 1979-1991 → 1985-1991 portrait_subject: None → Manuel Belgrano back_description: The Arg (Presidential Palace) in Kabul, the official residence and principal workplace of the President of Afghanistan.
