Ҳар кӣ андар роҳи мо хоре фиканд аз душанӣ, Ҳар гуле, к-аз боғи васлаш бишкуфад бехор бод. Дар ду олам нест моро бо касе гарди ғубор, Ҳар кӣ моро ранҷа дорад, роҳаташ бисёр бод.

Whoever oppresses us in our way, Let every flower that blooms in the garden of its blossom be fruitless. In two worlds we are not dusted with anyone, Whoever hurts us will be happy. Counterfeit banknotes of the National Bank of Tajikistan shall be punished in accordance with the law) |

Tajikistan adopted the somoni in 2000, replacing the Tajik ruble at a rate of 1000 to 1 — a straightforward redenomination following a decade of catastrophic inflation rooted in the civil war of 1992–1997. The somoni itself was named after Ismoil Somoni, the 9th-century Samanid ruler whose symbolic importance to Tajik national identity was deliberately invoked during a period when the newly independent state was still consolidating legitimacy.
The P#24A designation indicates a design revision from the earlier P#24 issue; differences between iterations in this series are typically confined to security feature updates rather than substantive redesign. Tajik banknotes of this period were printed by Giesecke & Devrient of Germany.
