100 Somoni

Tajikistan's 100 Somoni has been the country's highest-denomination circulating paper note for most of the somoni's existence — the currency itself only replaced the transitional Tajikistani ruble in 2000, after years of hyperinflation that followed the Soviet collapse and a brutal civil war that ended in 1997. G+D's Leipzig facility has handled Tajik banknote production across multiple series, a relationship that reflects the limited options available to smaller central banks seeking internationally credentialed security printers.

Watermark-only security on a high-denomination note is notably sparse by current standards. No mention of a security thread in the catalog data for this issue.
