Da Afghanistan Bank resumed note production after the fall of the Taliban in late 2001, and this 1000 Afghani denomination was part of the first major reissue series — printed in 2002 as the interim administration attempted to stabilize a currency that had splintered into at least two competing versions during the civil war years, with Northern Alliance and Kabul-issued notes trading at wildly different rates.
The Pick 72 series was printed by De La Rue. The printed date of 30 April 1945 references the Afghan solar calendar, not the Gregorian — a detail that routinely confuses western collectors encountering the series for the first time.
