This 5 Afghani coin is a genuine coin of Afghanistan and a genuine historical rarity. It was ordered to be minted by the King of Afghanistan, Muhammed Zahir Shah, whose portrait appears on this coin. It is one of the few specimens that has survived in its original uncirculated condition, among the few hoarded before it could be destroyed or damaged by angry Islamic zealots. In the Moslem faith coins with portraits are thought to be an act of blasphemy, specifically forbidden by Islamic law. Any world coins collection would be enhanced by the addition of this significant historical and numismatic oddity.
