Do you have more info on the names below the portraits? The middle one is something like ŞOHGEKUR or ŞOHGEIUR and the one at the bottom looks like AKHK , but uncle Google has heard of neither.

I have some of the 3 Somoni commemorative coins (Bimetallic) which I got few years ago. Do these coins (denominated in 3) actually circulate?

Translated rather poorly by Google:



1 somoni.

In the picture behind the official public figure of the Tajik state. Tursunzoda, below the name and surname of his name.



3 somoni.

In the post of the official Tajik State Sh. Sh. Shamhtamur is mentioned below the name and surname of his name.



5 somoni.

At the bottom of the coat of the founder of the modern literature of Tajik SS Aini is mentioned in the size of ¾, at the bottom of his or her name and its last name.

That helped, <k>.

Mirzo Tursunzoda is here and Sadriddin Ayni is here. Shamhtamur is probably Shirinsho Shotemur. BTW, the last name is a local variant of Shah Timur, whose empire included what is now Tajikistan. Note that all three were supporters of communism.
