The Kyrgyz som is the official currency of Kyrgyzstan, introduced on May 10, 1993, replacing the Soviet ruble after the dissolution of the USSR and Kyrgyzstan’s independence in 1991. The currency’s name comes from the word “som,” meaning “pure” or “true” in Turkic languages, emphasizing the stability and value of the new currency. The National Bank of Kyrgyzstan is responsible for issuing the currency, managing foreign reserves, and maintaining financial stability. The som is crucial for the local economy, which includes agriculture, natural resource extraction (including gold), and to a lesser extent tourism. Kyrgyz som is mainly used domestically, while Kyrgyzstan’s international trade involves exchange with neighboring countries and global partners. Banknotes and coins feature important historical figures as well as elements of Kyrgyz landscapes and culture, such as traditional patterns and historic sites.
