Additional information

Turkmenistan's 2007 coinage program fell squarely within the personality cult years of Saparmurat Niyazov — "Turkmenbashi" — though Niyazov himself died in December 2006, leaving his successor Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow to inherit both the state apparatus and its numismatic agenda. This piece was issued under the new administration's earliest months, a transitional moment when the iconography of the old regime was being quietly renegotiated.

The 1000 Manat denomination is nominal — by 2008 Turkmenistan redenominated its currency at a rate of 5000 old Manat to 1 new Manat, rendering the entire preceding series obsolete almost immediately after issue.
