Issued to commemorate the 5th Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games, held in Ashgabat in September 2017 — the largest international sporting event Turkmenistan has ever hosted. The government invested an estimated $5 billion USD in new facilities for the games, a figure that dwarfs the GDP contribution most nations would associate with such an event. Commemorative banknotes of this type are rarely used in everyday transactions; they circulate primarily through collectors and gift sets distributed by the central bank.
Thomas De La Rue's involvement is consistent with Turkmenistan's broader pattern of contracting British security printers for prestige issues.
