| Comments |
The Canadian Bank Note Company printed the entire initial Manat series for Turkmenistan following independence from the Soviet Union, with this high-denomination note appearing in 1995 as the young republic's currency was still finding its footing. Hyperinflationary pressure from the post-Soviet transition meant the 1000 Manat, though nominally large at issue, eroded in purchasing power rapidly — a second series and then a redenomination followed within a decade.
The 2009 redenomination replaced these at 5000 old Manat to 1 new Manat, which gives some sense of how far the currency had traveled from this note's original value.
