The date 19 FEWRAL (19 February) appears across the center of the flag, and the denomination 500 MANAT is inscribed in the lower right field. The year 2001 appears at the top of the inner field, with the full circular legend in Latin script running around the periphery. |

| Additional information |
Turkmenistan's early commemorative coinage program was launched under Saparmurat Niyazov — "Turkmenbashi," Father of all Turkmen — whose cult of personality extended to renaming months of the calendar after himself and his mother. The 2001 series coincided with the tenth anniversary of independence from the Soviet Union, declared in October 1991.
KM#41 shares its specification with the Royal Mint's standard commemorative flan, suggesting contract manufacture rather than domestic striking — Turkmenistan had no meaningful independent mint infrastructure at this date.
