Afghanistan 1/2 afghani Shah Muhammed Nadir Tughra MS63 PCGS silver coin 1931

The 1931 Afghanistan 1/2 Afghani silver coin, issued under King Mohammed Nadir Shah, is a rare piece of Afghan numismatic heritage. Struck during a turbulent yet defining period in the country’s history, it carries profound cultural and political symbolism. The obverse displays the intricate national emblem: a mosque with minarets and a central mihrab framed by two flags and wheat branches, symbolizing faith, unity, and prosperity. The reverse features Persian script inscriptions, including the royal tughra of Mohammed Nadir Shah, encircled by a beaded border and laurel sprays, with the date below.

Mohammed Nadir Shah (1883–1933), a key figure in Afghan history, ascended the throne after civil unrest and sought to stabilize the nation through reforms and modernization while preserving its sovereignty. Coins of his reign, especially certified examples, remain sought after by collectors due to their limited survival and historical depth.

This coin is struck in silver, certified by PCGS MS63, ensuring its authenticity and collector’s value. A genuine treasure for those fascinated by Middle Eastern history, Islamic calligraphy, and rare Afghan issues.
