Turkmenistan's 1990s manat series inflated rapidly as the government of Saparmurat Niyazov — Turkmenbashi, "Father of all Turkmen" — pursued an economic policy built on state control of gas revenues and price subsidies so extreme that electricity and water were effectively free. The 10,000 denomination arrived late in that cycle, by which point the manat had lost the vast majority of its purchasing power against the dollar since its introduction in 1993.
Harrison and Sons of High Wycombe had a long history of security printing across former Soviet republics in the post-independence period, supplying several Central Asian states when domestic printing infrastructure did not yet exist.
