| Obverse description | The left half of the obverse is dominated by a circular vignette containing the national emblem of Tajikistan, set within an ornate guilloche rosette border. The centre of the note carries large numerals '1000' in multicolour intaglio print above the Tajik word 'ХАЗОР РУБЛ' (One Thousand Roubles), while a decorative guilloche medallion occupies the lower right. Fine latticework underprint in pastel tones covers the entire field. |

| Comments |
Tajikistan's first national currency series arrived under severe pressure. The country had only left the Soviet ruble zone in 1995 — the 1994 date on these notes reflects printing preparation, not immediate release — and the transition coincided with an ongoing civil war that had devastated the economy and sent inflation spiraling well before a stable monetary framework existed.
The watermark is the sole security provision, a thin defense for a high-denomination note at a time when counterfeiting risk was considerable across former Soviet republics.
