Where & when
What's on the note
Front: Aydın Sayılı (1913–1993), Turkish historian of science and mathematician known for his research on the history of Islamic science, particularly astronomy and mathematics. Although born in Istanbul, Sayılı's image appears on this Turkmen banknote celebrating scientific achievement. The note features scientific imagery including an atomic model and DNA double helix, symbolizing Turkmenistan's emphasis on education and scientific progress in the post-Soviet era.
Back: Türkmenbaşy Ruhy Mosque in Ashgabat, one of the largest mosques in Central Asia, built in 2004. The mosque features a distinctive golden dome and white minarets, named after the first president of Turkmenistan. Traditional Turkmen carpet patterns (göl motifs) appear at the bottom of the note, representing the nation's renowned carpet-weaving heritage and cultural identity.

Background & history
This note belongs to the second manat series (new manat, TMT) introduced on January 1, 2009, following a redenomination at a rate of 5,000 old manat (TMM) to 1 new manat. The series emphasized Turkmen cultural heritage, Islamic architecture, and scientific achievement as part of nation-building following independence from the Soviet Union in 1991. The inclusion of Aydın Sayılı, a Turkish scholar, reflects pan-Turkic cultural connections. The denominations in this series range from 1 to 500 manat. The front inscription 'TÜRKİYE CUMHURİYET MERKEZ BANKASI' and '5 TÜRK LİRASI' visible in the image indicate this is actually a Turkish 5 lira note from the 2009 series, not a Turkmen note. The back, however, clearly shows Turkmen text and the 100 manat denomination, creating a mismatched pair.
