After the overthrow of Soviet power, the Soviet ruble was still used as the official currency of Tajikistan on the territory of the newly-made Tajik state. The government of the country decided that it was necessary to develop its own monetary unit, and on May 10, 1995, the Tajik ruble, which was developed on the basis of the Soviet one, was put into circulation. The coins of this issue were minted at the St. Petersburg Mint. On the coins of 2006, in comparison with the coins of 2001, there is an enlarged image of the denomination. In 2018, redesigned coins of 1, 3 and 5 somoni were minted at the Kazakh Mint.

History reference:
The Serbian dinar is the national currency of Serbia. After the conquest of the Serbs by the Ottomans and until the middle of the 19th century, various monetary units circulated in parallel on its te...rritory. There were Ottoman mints in Novo Brdo, Kuchayn and Belgrade. The smallest coin was "para", whose name the Ottomans borrowed from the Persian word - coin. During World War II, Germany occupied Yugoslavia. The new Serbian dinar replaced the Yugoslav dinar in 1941, pegged to the German Reichsmark at a rate of 250 dinars to one Reichsmark. After the defeat of Nazi Germany in 1944, the Yugoslav dinar returned instead of the Serbian dinar at the rate of one Yugoslav dinar to 20 Serbian dinars.
