I think that's the only definite source, but it be for sale in coin stores nearby to you. Again, just might. They mention the coin in question in the wikipedia article from linked at coins.su but no further information was given for it except from that it was the only coin made for the Tajikistan Ruble.

gxseries Pillar of the Community Australia 3831 Posts	Posted 08/28/2015 12:54 am I'm puzzled. While there seem to be a denomination on the 'coin', this is not listed on the official homepage of the Central Bank of Tajikistan. Could this be a pattern coin instead?

dulitu New Member Netherlands 36 Posts	Posted 02/06/2016 1:24 pm I've been researching on this medal several years ago. And the strangest thing to me is why did Krause even include it in a COIN catalog, while it is clearly a MEDAL. I believe its a mistake by Krause and it does not belong among other world coins. Tajikistan was issuing similar medals over years to commemorate its Independence and I have seen a certificate which states it is a medal with no denomination (another question: how come does Krause think it is 20 roubles?). So my advice would be just to look for some later year Somoni coin for your collection instead of this medal. Also, when it comes to other Middle Asian coins, Krause is not always a reliable source. UPDATE: I've found the certificate, even there it is called 'Silver Mark': UPDATE #2: In 1999 Tajikistan also issued two gold medals (10 grams and 20 grams) with the same design as the silver one. Similar medals were issued later in 2001, 2006 and possibly other dates. Edited by dulitu 02/06/2016 1:44 pm Report this Post to the Staff
gxseries Pillar of the Community Australia 3831 Posts	Posted 02/06/2016 8:10 pm They think they mistook 20 grams as 20 rubles. That's a pretty bad mistake.

Sap Moderator Australia 16872 Posts	Posted 05/30/2016 10:00 pm I'm pretty sure it's not a coin. The certificate describes it as a "silver mark" in English, but the Russian seems to better translate to "silver badge". I think you're going to have to write off Tajikistan as "a country that did not make coins in the 20th century". Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
geraltttt82 Valued Member United Kingdom 367 Posts	Posted 05/31/2016 04:06 am Even this one is for sure not a coin :) I would like to have it in my colection. Just wondering why its so rare. There is no pictures of this "badge" on Internet (only one black-white on NGC). Report this Post to the Staff

geraltttt82 Valued Member United Kingdom 367 Posts	Posted 06/02/2016 05:53 am The answer is... when one person.. one person from China, have ALL kind of coins, that are very rare, that nobody else have for example: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dahomey-197...AOSwV-RXEe7U http://www.ebay.com/itm/Senegal-197...loeEFZc3H0WA http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nagorno-Kar...AOxyB9RS1nK9 and first 300 comments are only in Chinese and only from buyers with yeellow - blue star, I can suppose, that most of the rarest coins on his auction are fakes.
