Asia here is only referred to Southern Asia and the rest of Western (Middle East) and Central Asia. I have separated SouthEast Asia and East Asia with different links here.


many of the banknotes posted here do not need descriptions. the designs are beautiful enough for me to add any more details - a picture is worth a thousand words

.Tajikistan - 500 Somoni 2010 Hybrid

Ҷумҳурии Тоҷикистон
Republic of Tajikistan

 This is Tajikistan's first Hybrid note issued in 2010.

 Like many countries in central Asia, Tajikistan was once part of the Soviet Union empire. It became independent on 09.09.1991 following the collapse of the Soviet Union empire. In 1994, it started issuing its own currency called Rubl. It then changed to Somoni when it issued new currency in 1999. Since 1999, the 500 somoni is still the largest note ever issued. The portrait on the front of the note belongs to Abuabdullo Rudaki (b.858-941). Abuabdullo was the founder of the Tajik classic literature. The Palace of Nations in Dushanbe is depicted on the back of the note.
