Uzbekistani sum

Common card · No. 261066

The sum (ISO code: UZS) is the official currency of the Republic of Uzbekistan. The Government replaced the Soviet Ruble with the Sum at par on 16 July 1994. No subdivisions of this Sum were initially issued and only banknotes were produced in denominations of 1, 3, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 200, 500, 1,000, 5,000, and 10,000 Sum. Further series, however, have introduced coins and a subunit, the tiyin. Because it was meant to be a transitional currency, the original design used during the first years of the Republic was rather simplistic.
