| Obverse description | Left-facing truncated bust of President Saparmurat Niyazov occupying the central field, rendered in high relief with fine portrait detail. The circular legend is divided into two arcs: TÜRKMENISTANYÑ PREZIDENTI across the upper field and SAPARMYRAT NYYAZOW along the lower field. The portrait is unadorned and depicted in a contemporary realistic style consistent with official state portraiture of the period. |
