Afghanistan 500 afghanis Charles Linderbergh Plane colored silver coin 1996

The Afghanistan 500 Afghanis 1996 silver coin honors legendary aviator Charles Lindbergh, who made history in 1927 with the first solo nonstop flight across the Atlantic Ocean in the Spirit of St. Louis. Issued within the World of Adventure series, this piece celebrates human courage and exploration.
The obverse is richly designed and selectively colored: a yellow airplane flies past the Statue of Liberty, symbolizing Lindbergh’s triumphant arrival in New York. Clouds in blue enamel form the background, while to the right appears a portrait medallion of Lindbergh. Around the edge runs the inscription “THE WORLD OF ADVENTURE – CHARLES LINDBERGH”, with the year 1996 below the pedestal of the statue.
The reverse depicts the coat of arms of the Islamic State of Afghanistan, with an arched gateway and mosque, wheat wreath, flags, and inscriptions in Arabic, crowned by a star. The denomination 500 Afghanis is placed beneath.
Struck in silver with a brilliant Proof finish and highlighted with vivid colors, this coin stands out as a tribute to one of aviation’s greatest achievements. It is a sought-after issue for collectors of aviation, history, and Afghan numismatics.
