| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Turkmenistan occupies the central field, depicting a Akhal-Teke horse within a circular wreath of five decorative medallions set against a star-shaped octagram. A crescent moon and five stars appear in the upper portion of the arms. Two olive branches flank the base of the design in the lower field. The curved legend 'TÜRKMENISTANYŇ MERKEZI BANKY' arcs along the upper periphery. |

| Additional information |
The Commonwealth of Independent States chairmanship rotates among member states, and Turkmenistan's 2012 presidency of the body came with particular diplomatic weight given the country's long-standing policy of permanent neutrality — a status formally recognized by the United Nations in 1995 and one that makes full CIS membership an inherently awkward posture. Ashgabat has historically treated CIS obligations selectively, participating where energy export interests align.
Struck to standard commemorative specifications common across Turkmenistan's silver program of the period, KM#178 belongs to a broader run of issues documenting the country's international engagements under Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow.
