| Additional information |
The tiyin denominations of 1994 were Uzbekistan's first independent coinage, issued just three years after the Soviet collapse. The 20 tiyin was part of a series intended to support the som, introduced that same year to replace the Russian ruble — itself already a replacement for Soviet currency that Uzbekistan had briefly continued using after 1991. Chronic inflation quickly rendered these small denominations functionally worthless in circulation, and most saw little actual use before being abandoned.
