| Reverse description | The reverse features a detailed three-quarter view rendering of the equestrian statue of Amir Temur (Tamerlane) as erected in Tashkent, depicting the medieval conqueror mounted on a caparisoned horse in a prancing pose, his right arm raised in a commanding gesture. The statue stands upon a stylised pedestal incorporating crossed swords or lances in the exergue. The denomination '10 SOM' appears at the base of the statue in raised numerals and lettering. The surrounding legend reads '• TOSHKENT •' arching across the upper field and '• AMIR TEMUR HAYKALI •' along the lower periphery in bold raised Latin characters. |

Issued the same year Uzbekistan celebrated the 660th anniversary of Timur's birth, this piece belongs to a broader state campaign to rehabilitate Timur — known in the West as Tamerlane — as a founding national hero rather than the destructive conqueror recorded in Persian and Ottoman sources. The Karimov government invested heavily in this rebranding through monuments, currency, and commemorative issues throughout the 1990s.
The KM# Pn1 designation indicates pattern status — this was almost certainly produced as a presentation or approval piece, not for general sale. Confirmed circulation mintages remain unrecorded.
