| Additional information |
Issued under the National Bank's ongoing cultural heritage series, this piece commemorates traditional Kyrgyz decorative ceramics — a craft historically centered in the Fergana Valley, where distinctive slip-painted earthenware had been produced for centuries before Soviet-era collectivization disrupted regional craft economies. The series has drawn mixed reception from collectors, with relatively modest secondary market activity suggesting limited international demand despite respectable mintage controls.
