The, Much Invaded, Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, was founded in 1747 but only got independence from British rule in 1919, then in 1979 was invaded by soviet troops to help a communist takeover bid and then in 2001 by a British / American led alliance who are still there today. It is bordered by many countries , including Pakistan, Iran , and China.
The notes above are a 500 afghani note from the solar year(sh) date 1370 (i think) which would make it 1991. the reverse (pic 1) has a picture of the fort at kabul and the front (pic 2) has horsemen playing a game called Buzkashi.
The other, lovely pink, note is a 1 afghani is from sh1381, thats 2002, the building on the back is the beautiful mosque at Mazar-i sharif
