Reversbeschreibung	The reverse features a stylized commemorative design composed of two interlocking curved bands forming an S-shaped or yin-yang motif, symbolizing the transition between millennia. The upper band displays a globe with radiating lines suggesting a rising sun, while the lower band features a detailed relief of ocean waves or a satellite dish form. The years '1999' and '2000' flank the central design in the field. The circular legend 'THE BEGINNING OF THE THIRD MILLENNIUM' runs along the periphery, with a small star at the base separating the beginning and end of the inscription.

Zusätzliche Informationen	Issued in 1999 by Da Afghanistan Bank, this coin was struck while the Taliban government controlled Kabul — an administration that had, by that point, banned most forms of representational imagery and shut down the central bank's normal operations. The commemorative was almost certainly produced under contract by a foreign mint for international collector markets rather than domestic circulation, a common arrangement for states with limited minting infrastructure. Afghanistan had no functioning mint capable of striking .999 silver commemoratives at this time.
