Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Manat (20 years of neutrality) 2015 coin from Turkmenistan is that it features an image of the country's former president, Saparmurat Niyazov, who ruled the country for over 20 years and was known for his authoritarian rule. The coin was issued to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Turkmenistan's neutrality, which was declared by Niyazov in 1995. Despite the coin's focus on neutrality, Turkmenistan has been criticized for its human rights record and lack of political freedoms.
