Uzbekistan's first post-Soviet currency series, of which this note is part, was issued in 1992 as the som-coupon — a transitional instrument introduced before the permanent som replaced the Soviet ruble entirely in July 1994. The series was printed in a hurry under difficult procurement conditions, and the security architecture reflects it: a single watermark, nothing more. For a newly independent republic establishing its own monetary infrastructure from scratch, the limitations were practical rather than political.
The som-coupon was never intended to last. High inflation through 1993–94 eroded its value rapidly, and most low-denomination notes were spent into oblivion within months of issue.
