| Additional information |
The Ruhnama — "Book of the Soul" — was written by Saparmurat Niyazov, Turkmenistan's first post-Soviet president-for-life, who declared it a sacred text equal in standing to the Quran. Schools were required to teach it, drivers had to pass an exam on its contents to obtain a license, and a giant mechanized monument in Ashgabat opened nightly to display its pages. This coin was issued while Niyazov was still alive; he died in December 2006, and the cult infrastructure built around the book collapsed within years of his death.
