| Additional information |
Turkmenistan's gold coinage from this period was issued under the presidency of Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow, who had consolidated power following the death of Saparmurat Niyazov — the self-styled "Turkmenbashi" — in 2006. Oguzkhan, the legendary ancestor-king of the Turkic peoples, became a central figure in Berdimuhamedow's nation-building program, displacing some of the more extravagant Niyazov-era iconography while maintaining the same fundamental impulse toward mythologized national identity.
The .916 fineness places this coin in the traditional 22-karat standard shared with British sovereigns and much of historic Ottoman gold coinage.
