Front: The Parliament building of Tajikistan in Dushanbe, topped with the national flag of Tajikistan (red, white, and green horizontal stripes with a crown and stars emblem). The Majlisi Oli (Supreme Assembly) building was the seat of the newly independent republic's legislature from 1991. The building represents Tajikistan's sovereignty following independence from the Soviet Union in 1991, during the tumultuous early years of state-building and civil conflict.

Back: This note does not belong to the front image. The back shows a portrait of Abeid Amani Karume (1905–1972), first President of Zanzibar and first Vice President of Tanzania after the union in 1964. Karume was a key figure in the Zanzibar Revolution of 1964 and led the merger with Tanganyika to form Tanzania. This is a 500 Tanzanian shilling note issued by the Bank of Tanzania.

The story

Background & history

The front depicts a Tajik 100 ruble note from the first national currency series issued in 1994 by the National Bank of Tajikistan, following independence from the Soviet Union in 1991. The Tajik ruble (TJR) replaced the Russian ruble at par and circulated during a period of hyperinflation and civil war (1992–1997). The currency was replaced by the somoni on October 30, 2000, at a rate of 1 somoni = 1,000 Tajik rubles. The back image is mismatched: it shows a 500 Tanzanian shilling note (Pick-35) from Tanzania's 2003 series, featuring Abeid Amani Karume. Serial number BE1755115 on the Tanzanian note does not correspond to the Tajik note's serial AT 3916385.
