| Additional information |
1978 in Afghanistan was the year of the Saur Revolution — a violent April coup by the People's Democratic Party that overthrew and killed President Daoud Khan, installing a Marxist government almost overnight. Coins dated to this transitional year exist in an administrative no-man's-land, struck either just before or during the chaotic early months of the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan. The PDPA government would itself fracture into murderous internal purges before the Soviet invasion the following year.
