| Reverse description | The reverse features a bold equestrian statue of Amir Temur (Tamerlane), depicted in right profile with his right arm raised triumphantly, mounted on a rearing horse with ornately detailed ceremonial saddlery, set upon a flat plinth. The legend AMIR TEMUR arcs across the upper field in Latin script, flanked by the birth year 1336 to the left and death year 1405 to the right. The denomination 100 SOʻM is inscribed in two lines across the lower field. The design is framed by a fine beaded border running the full circumference. |

| Additional information |
Issued in the same year Uzbekistan introduced its permanent national currency, the soʻm, replacing the transitional coupons that had served as a stopgap since independence. The reference KM# Pn1 designates this as a pattern — a trial piece never approved for circulation — making surviving examples scarce by definition rather than by attrition.
Temur's selection as the face of early Uzbek numismatics was a deliberate political act: the Soviet government had largely suppressed his cult, and the newly independent state wasted no time reclaiming him as a founding national symbol.
