Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the late President of Turkmenistan, Saparmurat Niyazov, who ruled the country for over two decades and was known for his authoritarian rule and personality cult. The coin was issued to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Turkmenistan's independence from the Soviet Union, which was achieved during Niyazov's presidency. Despite his controversial legacy, Niyazov remains a significant figure in Turkmenistan's history, and his image on the coin serves as a reminder of the country's complex past and political landscape.
