| Additional information |
The Silk Road passed directly through what is now Kyrgyzstan, with the Fergana Valley serving as a critical corridor connecting Chinese markets to Sogdian traders moving goods westward toward Persia and Byzantium. The city of Osh, among the oldest continuously inhabited settlements in Central Asia, functioned as a rest point on the route for over a millennium. Kyrgyzstan's National Bank has issued several coins in this thematic series, each tied to a specific segment of the road's geography within the republic's modern borders.
