The 1994 Tajik rouble series, of which this is part, was issued as the country scrambled to establish a functioning currency after independence — and amid a civil war that had been burning since 1992. The National Bank had almost no infrastructure, and the notes were printed abroad under difficult procurement conditions. Tajikistan was one of the last former Soviet republics to leave the rouble zone, doing so only in May 1995, which means this note had an exceptionally short window of legal-tender life before being replaced by the Tajik rouble's successor, the somoni, introduced in 2000.
High inflation during the civil war period meant large denominations became routine transaction notes almost immediately after issue.
