| Comments |
Da Afghanistan Bank introduced this denomination as part of the 2002–2004 currency reform that replaced the catastrophically inflated afghani — the exchange rate was 1000 old afghanis to 1 new afghani, a redenomination driven by decades of Soviet occupation, civil war, and Taliban-era monetary collapse that had rendered smaller denominations essentially worthless.
The 1000-afghani note sat at the top of the inaugural series for the new currency, printed under arrangements supported by the post-Bonn Agreement reconstruction framework. Security provision was minimal by contemporary standards — no colour-shifting ink, no optically variable device.
