Comment

Ruhnama (The Book of the Soul) is a book written by Saparmurat Niyazov, who was President of Turkmenistan from 1990 to 2006, combining spiritual/moral guidance, autobiography and revisionist history; much of it is of dubious or disputed factuality and accuracy. The text includes many stories and poems, including those by Sufi poet Magtymguly Pyragy It was intended as the "spiritual guidance of the nation" and the basis of the nation's arts and literature, by creating a positive image of the Turkmen people, a heroic interpretation of its history, the review of Turkmen customs and the definition of "moral, family, social and religious norms for modern Turkmens".

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Ruhnama, a spiritual guidebook written by Turkmenistan's former president Saparmurat Niyazov, on one of its sides. The Ruhnama is considered a sacred text in Turkmenistan and is heavily promoted by the government. The inclusion of its image on the coin highlights the importance of the text in Turkmen culture and spirituality.
