About the period
The som was introduced on 10 May 1993 in place of the Russian rouble and is divided into 100 tyiyn. The National Bank issued circulation coins only in 2008–2009: from 1 tyiyn to 10 som, in a single set of designs that is still in use. Collector coins have been issued since 1995 (the first for the 1000th anniversary of the Manas epic): silver, gold and copper-nickel, with colour enamel, gilding and inserts.
