| Additional information |
Turkmenistan's permanent neutrality was formally recognized by the United Nations General Assembly on 12 December 1995 — a status actively lobbied for by President Saparmurat Niyazov, who built the designation into a cornerstone of his cult-of-personality state-building project. The fifth anniversary in 2000 prompted a series of commemorative issues of which this gold piece is part.
The .916 fineness corresponds to 22-karat gold, the traditional crown gold standard. Mintage figures for Turkmen commemoratives of this period were extremely small and have never been reliably published by the Central Bank.
