Additional information

Issued to mark Uzbekistan's emergence as a competitive tennis nation following independence, this coin coincides with the period when players trained under the Soviet system began representing the new republic internationally. Uzbekistan's tennis federation had only been established in 1992, and by 2001 the country was actively investing in the sport's infrastructure and international profile.
