| Reverse description | Central field presents a detailed frontal view of the Majlisi Oli (Parliament building) of Tajikistan, rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished background with a receding grid pattern in the lower field suggesting a plaza or forecourt. Above the building, the large Roman numeral 'XX' dominates the upper central field, flanked by the words 'YEARS' to the left and 'СОЛ' (years in Tajik) to the right, commemorating the twentieth anniversary of independence. The date range '1991 – 2011' is inscribed below the building. The Cyrillic legend 'ИСТИКЛОЛИЯТИ ТОҶИКИСТОН' arcs along the upper border, while the Latin legend 'INDEPENDENCE OF TAJIKISTAN' arcs along the lower border. |

| Additional information |
Tajikistan declared independence from the Soviet Union in September 1991, but the years that followed were immediately consumed by a civil war lasting until 1997 — making the country's 20th independence anniversary in 2011, when this coin was issued, the first generation to have grown up entirely outside Soviet governance.
