| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Turkmenistan occupies the central field, rendered within a stylised eight-pointed star frame. The arms feature a central roundel depicting a Akhal-Teke horse, encircled by a wreath of wheat ears and traditional carpet medallions, surmounted by a crescent moon and five stars. Two olive branches extend from the lower field, flanking the base of the design. The commemorative legend arcs along the upper periphery, with ornamental rosettes separating the inscription at each side. |

| Additional information |
Turkmenistan's 2011 commemorative program coincided with the consolidation of Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow's presidency, a period in which state monuments — including the Constitution Monument in Ashgabat — were being constructed as visible anchors of a post-Niyazov national identity. The Constitution itself had been substantially rewritten in 2008, expanding presidential powers and dissolving the Halk Maslahaty, the quasi-parliamentary body Niyazov had used as a rubber stamp.
KM#166 belongs to a broader series of silver 10 Manat issues from this period, all sharing the 28.28g/.925 specification common to Commonwealth-era collector coinage globally — a format Turkmenistan's central bank adopted wholesale for international distribution rather than domestic circulation.
