| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a detailed scene of nomads constructing a traditional Kyrgyz yurt (ger), with the circular lattice framework (kerege) prominently displayed at center and figures actively assembling it. To the upper left, two horses graze in a mountainous landscape, while a group of traditionally dressed figures stands to the upper right observing the construction. The denomination '10 СОМ' is inscribed prominently at the lower center, flanked by the fineness and weight mark 'Ag 925 31,10г' to the lower left. Legends in Cyrillic appear at the top and along the left side of the field, with 'ЕврАзЭС' inscribed at the lower right. |

| Additional information |
Issued as part of the National Bank's ongoing program documenting traditional Kyrgyz material culture, this piece commemorates the construction of the yurt — specifically the process of assembly, which in nomadic practice was a communal act governed by precise social convention. A skilled family could raise a full yurt in under an hour. The knowledge was oral, passed through demonstration rather than instruction, and the Soviet period very nearly severed that transmission entirely.
