| Comments |
Tajikistan's first national currency, the Tajik rouble, was introduced in May 1995 to replace the Russian rouble — but the notes themselves, including this 50-rouble piece, were printed in advance and carry the 1994 date. The republic had remained in the Russian rouble zone longer than most former Soviet states, partly due to the civil war that erupted in 1992 and made monetary reform a secondary concern to basic survival.
The series was short-lived. Hyperinflation rendered low denominations like this one functionally worthless within months, and the entire Tajik rouble was retired in 2000 in favour of the somoni.
