| Additional information |
The somoni was introduced in 2000 to replace the Tajik ruble, itself a transitional currency that had replaced Soviet rubles following independence in 1991. The unit is named after Ismoil Somoni, the 9th-century Samanid ruler whose reign is regarded as a high point of Persian cultural and political organization in Central Asia — a deliberate choice by a government seeking pre-Soviet roots for its national identity.
