This was never a Soviet republic but was a country that had a communist revolution in 1978 and was the site of a long proxy war throughout most of the 1980s.</p><p><br /></p><p>This particular coin from 1995 celebrates the 50th Anniversary of the United Nations (many countries issued such coins). The obverse has a meditating man with three doves while the reverse features the emblem of the Islamic State of Afghanistan (used from 1992 to 2002, although the government went into exile when the Taliban took control in 1996).</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Country</b> Afghanistan</p><p><b>Denomination</b> 500 Afghanis</p><p><b>Year</b> 1995</p><p><b>Subject</b> 50th Anniversary of the United Nations</p><p><b>Composition</b> Silver 0.925</p><p><b>Weight (gr)</b> 28.28</p><p><b>Diameter (mm)</b> 38.61</p><p><b>Mintage </b>not certain (some sources have it at 100,000)</p><p><b>Mint </b>Royal Mint</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1378507[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1378508[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1378509[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
