| Additional information |
Issued to mark the twentieth anniversary of Uzbekistan's independence from the Soviet Union, declared on September 1, 1991. The anniversary series gave the Central Bank an opportunity to introduce higher-denomination circulating coinage as the som, chronically devalued through the 2000s, was only beginning to recover functional purchasing power at the 500-som level by 2011.
