| Comments |
The upay was a fractional subdivision of the som, introduced when Kyrgyzstan launched its national currency in May 1993 — one of the first Central Asian republics to break from the ruble zone after Soviet dissolution. By 1994, inflation had already made small-denomination paper notes functionally useless; 100 upay equaled one som, which itself bought almost nothing. These fractional notes were effectively obsolete within months of printing.
Printed by the Canadian Bank Note Company under contract, the early Kyrgyz issues used security paper sourced externally — the republic had no domestic printing infrastructure at the time.
