Below the building, within a recessed lower segment of the design, the denomination '500' appears in large numerals with 'SOʻM' inscribed beneath. The surrounding legend reads 'OʻZBEKISTON MUSTAQILLIGIGA 20 YIL', commemorating the 20th anniversary of Uzbekistan's independence, and runs along the outer border. |

| Additional information |
Issued to mark the twentieth anniversary of Uzbekistan's independence from the Soviet Union, declared on September 1, 1991. The anniversary series gave the Central Bank an opportunity to introduce higher-denomination circulating coinage as the som, chronically devalued through the 2000s, was only beginning to recover functional purchasing power at the 500-som level by 2011.
