100 Somoni Presidential Palace, wide security thread

Tajikistan's 100 Somoni note has gone through several incremental security upgrades since the denomination was first introduced, and this 2017 version is distinguished primarily by the adoption of a wider security thread — a straightforward technical revision rather than a full redesign. G+D's Leipzig facility has handled Tajik banknote production across multiple series, giving the output a consistent technical baseline.

The Somoni itself was introduced in 2000, replacing the transitional Tajik Ruble at a rate of 1:1000, a reform tied directly to the country's effort to stabilize after the civil war of the 1990s.
