UNC 1993 Kyrgyzstan 1 Tyiyn Banknote – First Issue – Pick P-1

Add a unique piece of post-Soviet monetary history to your collection with this 1993 Kyrgyzstan 1 Tyiyn banknote in Uncirculated (UNC) condition. Issued by the National Bank of the Kyrgyz Republic, this note formed part of the country’s very first national currency series following independence from the Soviet Union.

Introduced in 1993, the Tyiyn is the fractional unit of the Kyrgyz Som, with 100 Tyiyn equalling 1 Som. Kyrgyzstan was among the first former Soviet republics to establish its own national currency, making these inaugural issues highly desirable among collectors of world paper money and post-Soviet currencies.

The obverse features a majestic golden eagle, a powerful symbol of freedom, strength and the natural heritage of Kyrgyzstan. The reverse displays a traditional Tündük (the circular roof opening of a yurt), one of the nation’s most recognisable cultural symbols and a feature also found on the national flag. Printed on quality security paper with a stylised eagle watermark, the note measures approximately 90 × 70 mm and is catalogued as Pick P-1.
