100 Soʻm Judo expert

Issued to mark Uzbekistan's growing dominance in international judo competition during the late 1990s and early 2000s, a period when Uzbek judoka were consistently placing at World Championships and the Sydney Olympics. The country's judo program had been deliberately built up since independence as part of a broader state sports policy under Karimov, with the sport carrying particular cultural weight in Central Asia.

KM#25 is one of several commemorative silver issues the Central Bank produced in this period, many of which saw limited international distribution and remain genuinely difficult to source outside specialist Uzbek numismatic circles.
