| Comments |
The coupon currencies issued across the former Soviet republics in the early 1990s were transitional instruments — stopgap measures introduced while permanent national currencies were being prepared. Uzbekistan's sum-coupon series, of which this is among the higher denominations, was never intended as a long-term solution. The coupons circulated alongside Russian rubles initially, then replaced them after Uzbekistan opted out of the ruble zone in November 1993.
Hyperinflation rendered high-denomination coupons like this one functionally obsolete within months of issue. The entire coupon series was replaced by the permanent sum in 1994.
