Additional information

Kyrgyzstan lost an estimated 150,000 men during World War II — roughly one in eight of the entire population — drawn into a conflict fought thousands of kilometers from the Tian Shan. The Kyrgyz SSR supplied not only soldiers but significant quantities of non-ferrous metals critical to Soviet war production, a contribution largely absent from the commemorative record until issues like this one began appearing decades later.

KM#63 is part of a broader post-Soviet Central Asian tradition of 28.28g/.925 silver commemoratives struck to standard specifications shared with numerous Commonwealth of Independent States programs, often produced at the Kremnica or Valcambi facilities on contract.
