| Additional information |
The TAPI pipeline — Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India — has been under negotiation, construction delay, and political complication since the mid-1990s, when the project was first seriously proposed after Soviet dissolution left Central Asian energy exporters desperate for export routes that bypassed Russia and Iran. Turkmenistan holds the world's fourth-largest natural gas reserves, and TAPI represents its most ambitious attempt to monetize them southward. Construction formally began in December 2015 in Mary, Turkmenistan, with the Afghan section remaining stalled over security concerns at time of this coin's issue.
