Olive branches flank the lower portion of the design, symbolizing peace, and the date 2007 is inscribed in the exergue. The legend GARASSYZ BITARAP TURKMENISTAN (Independent Neutral Turkmenistan) curves along the upper periphery in bold Latin lettering. |

| Additional information |
Issued the year Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov consolidated power following the death of Saparmurat Niyazov — "Turkmenbashi" — this coin appeared as the new administration worked to dismantle the most extreme personality cult apparatus in post-Soviet history, including the renaming of months and days of the week that Niyazov had imposed. The national emblem itself had been revised after independence in 1992 and carries specific symbolic choices tied to Turkmenistan's claim over its Caspian resources and Akhal-Teke horse breeding traditions.
The 1000 manat denomination was nearing obsolescence at issue — a redenomination the following year replaced it at a rate of 5,000 old manat to one new manat.
