Turkmenistan's second manat series, introduced in 2009, was part of a redenomination that replaced the first manat at a rate of 5,000 to 1 — one of the starkest currency reforms in post-Soviet Central Asia. The Central Bank turned to Thomas De La Rue for the entire series, a pragmatic choice given Turkmenistan's limited domestic printing infrastructure and the need for internationally credible security specifications from the outset.
The P#24A designation distinguishes this from later signature varieties within the same print run.
