Tajikistan Coins
The official currency of Tajikistan is the somoni, introduced in 2000 to replace the Tajik ruble. The monetary system of this Central Asian country has undergone several changes throughout its history, reflecting the political and economic transformations in the region.
Current currency in circulation
The somoni is divided into 100 diram and is available in bills of 1, 3, 5, 5, 10, 20, 20, 50, 50, 100, 200 and 500 somoni. Coins in circulation include denominations of 5, 10, 20, 20, 25, 50 diram and 1, 3, 5 somoni. The National Bank of Tajikistan is responsible for issuing and regulating the currency, which is named after Ismail Samani, founder of the Samanid state in the 9th century.
Monetary history and highlights
Prior to independence in 1991, Tajikistan used the Soviet ruble. After the dissolution of the USSR, the country briefly adopted the Tajik ruble as a transitional currency. An important milestone in Tajik numismatics was the issuance of the first series of somoni coins in 2001, which included commemorative silver pieces. In 2019, Tajikistan launched a new series of banknotes with modernized designs and enhanced security features, marking a significant breakthrough in the country's monetary history.
