The Roman numerals 'XX' flanked by the inscriptions 'СОЛ' and 'ЛЕТ' appear above the emblem, denoting the 20th anniversary. The years '1991' and '2011' are positioned to the left and right respectively. Bilingual circular legends in Tajik and Russian appear along the outer rim against a dark frosted field. |

| Additional information |
The Commonwealth of Independent States marked its twentieth anniversary in 2011, two decades after the Alma-Ata Declaration of December 1991 formally dissolved the Soviet Union and established the CIS framework among eleven former republics. Tajikistan's membership had been complicated from the outset — the country was consumed by civil war between 1992 and 1997, and the CIS itself provided a nominal peacekeeping force during that conflict.
The Somoni, named for Ismoil Somoni, the 9th-century Samanid ruler, only replaced the Russian ruble as Tajikistan's currency in 2000.
