| Obverse description | At center, the colorized National Coat of Arms of Tajikistan, depicting a rising sun over mountains, an open book, a crown of seven stars, and flanking sprigs of cotton and wheat ears, all rendered in full polychrome enamel. The Tajik legend ҶУМҲУРИИ ТОҶИКИСТОН arcs along the upper periphery, while REPUBLIC OF TAJIKISTAN curves along the lower periphery, both separated from the central device by a beaded inner border. The denomination 50 СОМОНӢ appears in the lower field beneath the coat of arms. The fineness and weight marks Ag 925 and 31,1 are inscribed in the left and right fields respectively. |

| Additional information |
Tajikistan's alpine skiing coinage series emerged from the country's efforts to build international sporting visibility in the years following its brutal civil war, which ended in 1997 and left the national economy in near-collapse. By the 2010s, the National Bank had embraced commemorative issues as both a hard currency revenue source and a soft-power tool — a strategy common among smaller post-Soviet states with limited minting infrastructure of their own.
KM#40 was almost certainly struck by a European contract mint rather than domestically.
