History

Like other republics of the former Soviet Union also used Uzbekistan after independence, initially still the ruble. On 26 July 1993, the old Soviet ruble was replaced by the new Russian rubles in Russia. Until the introduction of Som on November 15, 1993 rubles both currencies were working side by side in Uzbekistan. Uzbekistan replaced the ( new ) rubles through the summer at par (1:1). The summer was not further subdivided, only banknotes in denominations of 1, 3, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 200, 500, 1000, 5000 and 10000 were issued Som. The design of the bills was very easy, as this currency was intended from the outset as a transitional currency. All the notes were on the front of the coat of arms of Uzbekistan and on the back of an Islamic building. They differed only in the color and the face value.

On 1 July 1994, the new Som was brought out. The exchange ratio was 1 new Som = 1000 old Som. The new Som is divided into 100 Tiyin. At its launch, the exchange rate to the U.S. dollar was $ 1 = 25 Som.

Two series of coins have been issued for the new summer, which can be distinguished by the Scriptures. The first series is with Cyrillic, the second with the Latin alphabet.
