| Obverse description | A coupon sheet card printed in blue on a fine guilloche underprint, divided into a grid of individual ration coupons of varying denominations (10, 20, 40, 60, 100, 200, 300, 400, 600 kupons). A central vignette panel carries the Cyrillic and Uzbek inscriptions identifying the issuer and the total face value of 3000, with a signature line for the holder below. The overall layout is utilitarian in character, typical of transitional ration-coupon currency issued during the post-Soviet monetary reform period. |

| Comments |
Uzbekistan's early independence period produced a genuinely strange monetary situation. The coupon system was introduced as a transitional mechanism after the collapse of the Soviet ruble zone, allowing Uzbekistan to manage purchasing power while the som was prepared for introduction. These coupons functioned as supplementary tender rather than a proper national currency — a stop-gap that reflected just how rapidly the post-Soviet monetary architecture was being improvised across Central Asia.
The 3,000-coupon denomination sits at the high end of the coupon series, a direct reflection of the hyperinflationary pressures of 1993.
