Afghanistan 500 afghanis Olympics Javelin Piefort MS70 PCGS silver coin 1998

The Afghanistan 500 Afghanis 1998 silver piedfort coin celebrates the upcoming Sydney 2000 Olympic Games, honoring the spirit of sportsmanship and international unity. This particular issue is dedicated to the discipline of javelin throw, one of the oldest Olympic track-and-field events symbolizing strength, technique, and endurance.
The obverse presents a vivid colored design: an athlete in red and blue uniform, captured mid-action as he prepares to release the javelin. The figure is set against a detailed athletic stadium track, with green and red enamel accents. Surrounding inscriptions read “SYDNEY 2000 – XXVII OLYMPIAD”, with the year 1998 placed to the right. The artistry and coloring enhance the dynamic movement of the composition, making it one of the most visually striking Afghan Olympic issues.
The reverse depicts the coat of arms of the Islamic State of Afghanistan, showing a mosque and archway surrounded by flags, wheat wreath, star, and Arabic inscriptions. Beneath is the denomination 500 Afghanis.
This piedfort edition, double-thick and struck in silver with a Mint State 70 grade by PCGS, guarantees flawless quality. A rare Olympic commemorative, it appeals equally to sports fans, collectors of modern world issues, and enthusiasts of Afghan numismatics.
