Stephen Album sale 50, lot 1480

This specimen was lot 1480 in Stephen Album sale 50 (Santa Rosa, CA, September 2024), where it sold for $840. The catalog description[1] noted, "AFGHANISTAN: Muhammed Nadir Shah, 1929-1933, AV 20 afghanis, AH1349 year 2 (1930), an attractive lustrous mint-state example, PCGS graded MS62, ex Hakim Hamidi Collection." This type was struck AH 1348-1350 and is scarce like most Afghan gold coins. Coins of this period are sometimes dated on the traditional Muslim calendar, or on the Solar Hegira calendar, as here, which starts on the same date as the traditional Hegira calendar but uses solar years rather than lunar years.

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: 6.00 g, 0.900 fine gold, 22 mm diameter.

Catalog reference: KM-925.
