Obverse description Central field bears the state emblem of the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan under the Khalq faction: a circular shield charged with the word 'Khalq' (خلق, meaning 'the People') in Arabic script, surmounted by a five-pointed star, and flanked by two symmetrical sprays of wheat. A ribbon at the base of the wreath bears an inscription. The Arabic legend 'د افغانستان دموکراتیک جمهوری دولت خلق' curves along the upper periphery, with the Solar Hijri date 'ثور-١٣٥٧' (Sawr 1357) appearing in the lower field, denoting the month of the Saur Revolution.

The word 'دوی' (Two) appears in Arabic script above the numeral, and 'افغانی' (Afghani) is inscribed below. A border of twelve five-pointed stars, evenly spaced, encircles the entire design along the inner rim, lending a decorative and republican character to the composition.
