| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Kyrgyzstan is centrally depicted within a stylised kookor (traditional Kyrgyz vessel motif), rendered with fine concentric decorative bands radiating outward. The coat of arms features the tunduk (the crown of a yurt) above a rising sun, flanked by spread eagle wings. The entire design is framed by an ornate border of traditional Kyrgyz scrollwork. The Cyrillic legend УЛУУ КЫРГЫЗ КАГАНАТЫ (Great Kyrgyz Kaganate) arcs along the upper field, and the date 2013 appears in the lower field beneath the central device. |

| Reverse description | A stylised map of Central Asia occupies the central field, overlaid with a prominent gilded tamga (ancestral tribal emblem) of the Kyrgyz Kaganate rendered in relief. Mounted warriors on horseback are depicted at the upper left and upper right corners, with additional armed horsemen in the lower corners, symbolising the military expansion of the Great Kyrgyz Kaganate during the 9th–10th centuries. Old Turkic runic script arcs along the upper field above the map. The fineness and weight designation Ag 925 / 28.28g appears in a legend across the lower central field, and the denomination 10 СОМ is inscribed prominently at the bottom. Decorative Kyrgyz scrollwork flanks the central design on both sides. |
