Additional information

Issued to mark the 60th birthday of Saparmurat Niyazov — "Turkmenbashi," the self-styled Father of all Turkmen — this coin belongs to a broader series that also honored his younger brother Muhammetmyrat, an otherwise historically obscure figure elevated here by proximity to one of the most extreme personality cults of the post-Soviet world. Niyazov renamed months of the calendar after himself and family members, banned opera, and commissioned a rotating gold statue of himself in Ashgabat that faced the sun.

Official mintage figures for this series were never publicly disclosed by the Central Bank.
