Coin set of Kyrgyzstan, 2008 / 2009.


Here you see the Kyrgyz coinage.

The common obverses shows the national emblem.


The brass 1, 10 and 50 tiyin coins feature a gul on their reverse.

A gul is a stylised flower used in traditional Kyrgyz ornamental art.


The 1, 3, 5 and 10 som coins feature a stylised kookor on their reverse.

The kookor is a leather bottle used to store the traditional drink of mare's milk.

It is is a traditional motif of the Kyrgyz.


Notice that the gul design is uniform on the tiyin coins.

The kookor design appears differently on each som coin.

Thus a little variety is added to a plain set of designs.

All the coins were made of aluminium.

100 luma are equal to 1 dram.


The 1, 3, 5 and 10 dram designs included two sprigs.

The 10, 20 and 50 luma designs did not.

That visually separated the units from the subunits.
