Here is a full set of six notes all printed with the year date of 2022. These are the reprint of the 2021 series in full set. There are no changes to the designs or signatures except for the year date. I believe both the 20 and 50 somoni are still hybrid notes, including the 500 somoni as well. The rest are paper notes.

 

Collecting banknotes in full sets is always more enjoyable than just getting odd ones.
