| Comments |
Uzbekistan's coupon currency was a transitional instrument introduced after independence to manage the departure from the Soviet ruble zone. These coupons were never intended as permanent legal tender — they bridged the gap before the sum was introduced in July 1994, functioning more as a rationing mechanism than a true national currency.
The 1993 high-denomination coupons reflect accelerating inflation during that interval. By the time the sum arrived, exchange rates had made large coupon values nearly trivial.
