| Comments |
Uzbekistan's coupon currency was a transitional instrument, introduced after independence to manage the withdrawal from the Soviet ruble zone before the permanent som could be established. These coupons circulated alongside Russian rubles in a dual-currency arrangement that was administratively chaotic — exchange rates shifted rapidly and the coupons depreciated almost immediately upon introduction.
The quarterly denomination system is unusual. Rather than fixed face values, coupons were issued by quarter to control purchasing periods, a rationing mechanism more than a monetary one. The 3rd quarter issue of 1993 falls in the window just before the som replaced the entire coupon system in July 1994.
