10 Afghanis

Bradbury Wilkinson printed this note during a period when Afghanistan was actively modernizing its central banking infrastructure — Da Afghanistan Bank had only been formally established in 1939, and the early series of notes it issued through the 1940s relied entirely on British security printers to produce anything approaching a credible fiduciary instrument. The relationship with Bradbury Wilkinson was the standard solution for smaller issuing authorities with no domestic printing capacity.

P#30A is distinguished from the later P#30B by serial number typography. Worth knowing before attributing a lot.
