A new coin, a capsule.
The Afghanistan 500 Afghanis 2000 silver coin commemorates one of the greatest milestones in human history – the transition into the Third Millennium. Struck at the turn of the century, this piece symbolizes global progress, renewal, and the hopes connected with the year 2000.
The obverse presents a symbolic composition divided into two halves. The upper part depicts a radiant sun rising above the Earth, representing light, future, and the dawning of a new era. Below, stylized waves and flames symbolize both the flow of time and the energy of life. The inscriptions “1999 – 2000” mark the historic date, while the legend around the edge reads “THE BEGINNING OF THE THIRD MILLENNIUM.” The artistry combines modern symbolism with elegant proof engraving, making the coin a piece of contemporary numismatic art.
The reverse displays the coat of arms of the Islamic State of Afghanistan, featuring an arched gate and mosque, flags, wheat wreath, Arabic inscriptions, and a star above. Beneath appears the denomination 500 Afghanis.
Struck in silver with a brilliant Proof finish, this issue stands as a rare collectible that unites Afghanistan’s numismatic tradition with a global celebration. A must-have coin marking the symbolic start of a new era.
