| Additional information |
Tajikistan introduced its som and diram currency in October 2000, replacing the Tajik ruble at a rate of 1,000 to 1 — a direct consequence of the economic devastation left by the 1992–1997 civil war. The 2006 reissue of the 50 diram in brass-plated steel rather than the original brass reflects a cost-reduction decision common to post-Soviet states still stabilizing their monetary infrastructure years after independence.
The magnetic variant designation in KM#6.2a distinguishes it from the earlier non-magnetic brass planchets — a difference detectable only by magnet, making misattribution common in general collections.
