| Obverse description | The obverse vignette presents a frontal portrait of Osama bin Laden at centre, with the Blue Mosque (Shrine of Hazrat Ali) of Mazar-i-Sharif rendered in the background. The upper field carries the bold inscription "HOSANAH BIN LINER / WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE" alongside a reward notice, while the denomination "1000 AFGHANIS" appears in the lower panel. This is a satirical fantasy note and bears no official status. |

| Reverse description | The reverse carries a vignette of the Taq-e Zafar (Arch of Victory), a triumphal arch located at Paghman near Kabul, erected to commemorate Afghan independence following the Anglo-Afghan Treaty of 1919. The issuing legend "Da Afghanistan Bank" is inscribed in the upper field, with the denomination "1000 AFGHANIS" repeated in the lower margin. The overall design mimics the visual conventions of official Afghan banknote issues. |

| Comments |
Nothing in the standard references — Pick, Krause, or otherwise — matches a denomination or issuing authority by this name. "Aghanis" does not correspond to any known monetary unit, and "Hosanah bin Liner" is not a recognized issuing bank, government authority, or financial institution in any jurisdiction. This entry cannot be written without reliable source data.
