The date on the Afghan emblem is the detail most people miss. It reads 1298, which looks wrong until you know it is written in the Solar Hijri calendar that Afghanistan uses rather than the Gregorian one. Converted, it is 1919 — the year the Treaty of Rawalpindi ended the third Anglo-Afghan war and Britain recognised Afghan control over its own foreign affairs. Every version of the emblem since has carried that year, including the one printed here.
Above the date sits the mosque, drawn head-on so the mihrab arch marking the direction of Mecca and the minbar pulpit beside it are both visible, with two small flags at the corners and a wreath of wheat closing around the whole device. Below it, a scroll carries the country name in Dari.
The crest format puts all of that on a shield with a thick gold rim that tapers to a rounded point, with a pair of gold ribbon tails at the foot. Two identical stickers per pack, printed in full colour on glossy vinyl and contour cut around the shield and the ribbons, in sizes from 5–50cm / 2–20in. Peel and stick with no transfer tape. They suit a flat vertical panel — a door, a locker, a case lid — better than a tight curve.
