Additional information

Issued to mark Turkmenistan's one-year rotating presidency of the United Nations Group of 77, this coin commemorates a diplomatic moment that the Berdimuhamedov government treated as a major international legitimacy event. Berdimuhamedov had assumed power just months earlier following the death of Saparmurat Niyazov — "Turkmenbashi" — in December 2006, and the G77 presidency offered early international visibility for a regime still consolidating control over one of the world's most isolated states.
