The story

Background & history

First national currency series of independent Kyrgyzstan, issued in 1993 as the tyiyn (plural: tyiyn), subdividing the som at 100 tyiyn = 1 som. This transitional series was introduced following independence from the USSR in 1991 to replace the Soviet ruble. The tyiyn denominations (1, 10, 50 tyiyn) were quickly demonetized due to hyperinflation in the early post-Soviet period, making them effectively obsolete within months of issue. The som became the sole circulating currency, with tyiyn notes becoming numismatic curiosities. The eagle design reflected the new nation's desire to establish distinct national symbols.
