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.

History reference:
The Russian ruble is the monetary unit of the Russian Federation. In the current territory of Russia, the ruble has been used as a means of payment since the thirteenth century. There was an opinion ...that the expression "ruble" came from another verb "cut". However, today it has been proven that the ruble, for some reason, owes its name to the ancient technology of coin production. At first, the ruble was in the form of a coin with a certain amount of precious metal. But in 1769, the first paper money appeared. On modern Russian banknotes, architectural monuments of different cities of the country are depicted: on the front side of the banknote with a face value of 5 thousand - a monument to Muravyov-Amursky in Khabarovsk, on the back - a bridge across the Amur
