| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of the Kyrgyz Republic is depicted in the upper half of the field, enclosed within a circular wreath, featuring the traditional tunduk (yurt crown) above mountains and a spread eagle below. A stylized geometric mountain range rendered in a modernist linear style occupies the lower half of the field, separated from the coat of arms by the commemorative legend. The border is adorned with a repeated pattern of triangular and spiral ornamental motifs in the Kyrgyz national style. The commemorative inscription appears in Cyrillic across the middle field, and the date 2011 is inscribed in the exergue. |

| Additional information |
Victory Peak — known in Kyrgyz as Pobeda, borrowed directly from the Russian — sits on the Chinese border at 7,439 meters and was named in 1946 to commemorate the Soviet victory in World War II. The Kyrgyz Republic began issuing a circulation commemorative som series in the 2000s to assert a distinct national identity through geography and heritage, and high-altitude landmarks became a recurring subject. This piece is part of that broader program rather than a standalone issue.
