Afghani is the official currency of Afghanistan. The currency has a long history and was introduced in 1926. Then it looked like a coin made of 900 silver and contained 10 g of pure silver. At the ti...me of the appearance of the currency in the country, rupees were used, Indian, Kabul, Russian and Bukhara coins. Indian rupees were especially common. Afghanistans first own banknotes appeared only in 1935, when they were issued by the National Afghan Bank. In 1991, the banknotes of the period of the kingdom formally lost the force of legal tender, but in fact continued to be used in circulation. During the period of anarchy, warlords and other political movements used their own Afghanis. Until 2002, there were two types of Afghani in circulation: “pressure”, issued by the central government and “dostumi”, issued by order of General Dostum in the territory under his control. Outwardly, they did not differ, the difference is only at face value. The special currency of the Northern Alliance was also used. All banknotes since the April Revolution were printed in the USSR, then Russia.

Loti, in pl. h. maloti is the currency of the Kingdom of Lesotho. From February 1961, the South African rand, issued to replace the South African pound, was in circulation in Lesotho. On January 19, ...1980, the first national currency was introduced - the loti, divided into 100 licentes and equal to the South African rand. This change was intended to ensure the economic and political independence of Lesotho from the Republic of South Africa, which in reality did not happen. The reverse side of the 50 licente coin contains the image of a rider on a horse, the 2 maloti coin is decorated with the image of five corn inflorescences, the reverse side of the 5 maloti coin is similarly decorated. On the front side of the 1 loti coin there is a portrait of the king of Lesotho, Moshen I, who in the first half of the 19th century. did everything to unite all the tribes that then lived on the territory of modern Lesotho, thereby ending internecine wars. Coins are mostly made of steel.
