Identification note: Exact Pick number and date are not printed; several similar varieties exist across 1973–1977 and 1978–79 with small emblem/signature differences. | Attributes match the Republic-era 10 Afghanis portrait type printed by Thomas De La Rue: brown note, portrait in military uniform at left, Da Afghanistan Bank legend, DLR imprint, and reverse showing the Herat Musalla complex with a large iwan and dome. This design family spans c. 1973–1977 and was closely repeated c. 1978–79 with minor emblem/signature changes. Without a clear view of the coat of arms style (Republic vs later Democratic Republic), the exact date/series, and the specific signature pairing, the precise Pick number/suffix cannot be confirmed, but the general type aligns best with Pick-58 for the 10 Afghanis of this design. Unverified details preventing an exact call: exact crest/emblem variant, date/series, and signature variety.
