Hello everyone,

In the 1974 and 1975 British Royal Mint reports, they list the 5 Afghanis coin as Nickel clad Steel. However, on the Numista page and in the SCWC, they are listed as Copper-Nickel clad Steel.

Can anyone explain this discrepancy? I'm inclined to believe the Royal Mint over Krause.

I would also favor the mint.

This also matches the composition of the previous 5 afghani coin.
