Front: An eagle (berkut or golden eagle) in flight within a circular medallion, surrounded by text 'КЫРГЫЗ РЕСПУБЛИКАСЫ' (Kyrgyz Republic) and 'ОН ТЫЙЫН' (ten tyiyn). The eagle is a prominent symbol in Kyrgyz culture, representing freedom, strength and the nomadic heritage of the Kyrgyz people. The tyiyn was a subdivision of the som introduced in 1993 when Kyrgyzstan established its independent currency following the dissolution of the Soviet Union.

Back: A stylized ornamental rosette featuring traditional Kyrgyz decorative patterns arranged in a circular medallion, with text 'КЫРГЫЗ РЕСПУБЛИКАСЫ' (Kyrgyz Republic) and 'ОН ТЫЙЫН' (ten tyiyn). The geometric and floral motifs reflect the rich textile and decorative arts traditions of the Kyrgyz nomadic culture, particularly patterns found in yurts, carpets and traditional crafts.

The story

Background & history

First som series, issued 1993 following Kyrgyzstan's independence from the Soviet Union in 1991. The som replaced the Soviet ruble at a rate of 1 som = 200 rubles. This 10 tyiyn note (1 som = 100 tyiyn) was part of the initial currency issue that established Kyrgyzstan's monetary sovereignty. The series featured traditional Kyrgyz cultural symbols, including the eagle and ornamental patterns. These low-denomination tyiyn notes were withdrawn from circulation by 1997 as inflation rendered them impractical, and subsequent series focused on higher-value som notes.
