10 Som Demoiselle

The Demoiselle crane (Anthropoides virgo) is Central Asia's most numerous crane species and a genuine seasonal presence across Kyrgyz territory during migration. Kyrgyzstan's commemorative silver program has leaned heavily on regional fauna since the early 2000s, issuing small runs typically distributed through the National Bank's own sales channels rather than conventional circulation — most examples go directly into collector hands without ever passing through a till.
