| Reverse description | The reverse depicts the Monument of Neutrality (Bitaraplyk) of Turkmenistan rising prominently at centre, set against a radiating sunburst pattern filling the field, with a stylised outline map of Turkmenistan visible to the right. To the left stand three stacked decorative roundels bearing traditional Turkmen ornamental motifs. The Roman numeral XXV appears to the upper right of the monument, commemorating the 25th anniversary of independence. A laurel branch decorates the lower field, while the patriotic legend ÝAŞASYN GARAŞSYZ, BAKY BITARAP TÜRKMENISTAN! arcs around the periphery, punctuated by small star ornaments. |

| Additional information |
Turkmenistan declared independence from the Soviet Union on October 27, 1991, making 2016 the 25th anniversary the coin commemorates. The country has issued commemorative gold under the Central Bank since the mid-1990s, largely distributed through state channels and international numismatic agencies rather than domestic retail — a pattern typical of authoritarian-adjacent states where hard currency collectibles function more as diplomatic gifts than as market commodities.
