| Additional information |
Turkmenistan's commemorative silver program from this period was issued under the administration of Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow, who took power in 2007 following the death of the eccentric longtime dictator Saparmurat Niyazov. The census referenced by this coin was part of a broader state push to document and publicize population growth — a politically sensitive subject in a country where official statistics are tightly controlled and independently unverifiable.
