| Obverse description | The central vignette carries an intaglio portrait of Abū ʿAlī ibn Sīnā (Avicenna, 980–1037), the Persian polymath and physician of the Islamic Golden Age, set against a multicolour guilloche underprint. The issuer's name in Tajik Cyrillic script and the denomination in both numeral and text form are arranged around the portrait, with ornamental geometric borders in the Central Asian decorative tradition framing the overall composition. Security devices and fine-line guilloche rosettes are integrated into the background underprint. |
