Denomination ....500 Afghans
Date.....................1991

Comments…...... Horsemen competing in Buzkashi, the national sport of Afghanistan on front. Buzkashi literally translates to "dragging the goat". Preparations for a match begin with the ceremonial bleeding to death of a calf or goat. The head is removed and the legs are cut off at the knee so the hooves won't injure players. The carcass can weigh up to 100 pounds. Reverse shows Bala Hissar (Kabul Walls).
