Issued to mark the tenth anniversary of Uzbekistan's independence from the Soviet Union, this coin arrived at a moment when the som itself was barely a decade old — the currency having replaced the Russian ruble only in 1994 after a transitional coupon period. The parliament building depicted on this piece was still a relatively new institutional symbol for a country that had spent seven decades governed from Moscow.
KM#19 is a low-mintage commemorative with limited secondary market depth.
