Initially, the national currency of Tajikistan in the All-Russian Classifier of Currencies was called the “Tajik ruble”, and from March 17, 1997 to July 1, 2001 - the “Tajik ruble”.
History
Like many other republics of the former Soviet Union , Tajikistan continued to use the Soviet ruble even after gaining independence. On July 26, 1993, a new series of Russian rubles was issued, and Soviet money stopped circulating in the Russian Federation [2] . In Tajikistan, this money was used until January 8, 1994 [3] .
On January 1, 1994, the Russian ruble of 1993 was recognized as a means of payment in Tajikistan [4] . Prior to this, in November 1993, the possibility of introducing modified Russian banknotes with an overprint in the form of a national Tajik ornament was considered from May 15, 1994 [5] .
On May 10, 1995, the Russian ruble was replaced by the Tajik one in the ratio: 1 Tajik ruble = 100 Russian rubles. Bank funds were exchanged in a different ratio: 1 Tajik ruble = 1200 Russian rubles [4] . Initially, it was supposed to use the Tajik ruble as a cash coupon , which would have circulated on the territory of the country along with the Russian ruble, but the country's difficult situation forced the government and the National Bank to introduce the Tajik ruble as an independent national currency [4] .
Among the former republics of the Soviet Union, Tajikistan was the last to introduce its own monetary unit. Even the unrecognized state of Transnistria has done this before.
On October 30, 2000, the Tajik ruble was replaced by a new national currency, the Somoni . 1 somoni was set equal to 1,000 Tajik rubles [6] . The exchange was carried out before April 1, 2001, and during this period both currencies had equal circulation.
Coins
The only commemorative coin in the currency of Tajik rubles was issued in 1999.

Banknotes
The design of Tajik rubles banknotes is in many ways similar to the design of Soviet rubles of 1961 and 1991 and Russian rubles of 1993 : according to the color scheme, the type of inscriptions and the placement of parts. In fact, Tajik rubles were printed and developed with the participation of Russian Goznak . Shortly before the introduction of the new currency, Tajikistan was planning the introduction of large denominations: 5,000 and 10,000 Tajik rubles. How many of them were made and then destroyed is unknown, however, some of these banknotes leaked from the Central Bank of Tajikistan [5] .
On the obverse side of the banknotes is an image of the face value, the name of the issuing bank ( Tajik. Bonnii Milli umumurii Tokikiston ), the coat of arms of Tajikistan and the year of issue. On the back is an image of the Tajik parliament building with a waving flag and a denomination. A fake warning is located on the back of banknotes with a par value of 1-500 rubles and on the front of banknotes of a higher denomination. The watermark on all banknotes is five-pointed stars throughout the field.
Serial numbers of type AA 1234567 are located on the front side of banknotes with a face value of 1-50 rubles and on the reverse side of banknotes of a higher face value.
