The only public figures we have are the DCSA export notifications for both types. I accept dividing the estimated value by the number of aircraft doesn't give an accurate figure, given the inclusion of related equipment, weapons, spares, training, support, etc, but with the same being for both the AH-64 and AH-1Z they do provide a useful comparator.
For Kuwait
Kuwait – AH-64E Apache Helicopters | Defense Security Cooperation Agency (dsca.mil) the AH-64E comes out at approx $60 million apiece (taking into account some remanufactured airframes).
For Nigeria
Nigeria – AH-1Z Attack Helicopter Related FMS Acquisitions | Defense Security Cooperation Agency (dsca.mil) the AH-1Z comes out at approx $83 million apiece.
Not scientific, but it is indicative.
