Afghanistan's 1928 treasury notes were issued under Amanullah Khan's modernization program, which attempted to restructure the country's financial system along more Western lines. The effort was short-lived — Amanullah abdicated in January 1929 following a tribal revolt, and much of his reform apparatus, including the currency framework, was dismantled or disrupted almost immediately after.
These notes were issued directly by the Treasury rather than through a central bank, which Afghanistan would not establish until 1939. Surviving examples from this series are genuinely scarce, a predictable consequence of the political upheaval that followed within months of issue.
