Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- From 15 July 2022, the Central Bank will issue new samples of banknotes with a face value of 200,000 soums in the form of banknotes. This was reported by the press service of the regulator.

The theme of the banknotes is dedicated to the "Great Silk Road" and the ancient history of the Ferghana Valley, which is located on the territory of Uzbekistan.

The size of the banknote is 152 x 69 mm.

On the right side of the banknote, there is a local watermark in the form of a camel - a symbol of the ancient "Great Silk Road" and the denomination "200,000".

On the right side of the banknote, in the thickness of the paper, there is a micro-optical machine-readable security thread of 4 mm wide blue color with "dynamic effect" and "UZB" text. 

The predominant color of the front and back sides is turquoise in combination with other colors. 

The banknotes are printed on security paper, the front and back sides are coated with a special varnish.

In the upper left corner is the number "200,000", in the upper part is the text "O’ZBEKISTON RESPUBLIKASI MARKAZIY BANKI", printed in blue and green. Also in the upper right corner of the banknote, the Coat of Arms of the Republic of Uzbekistan is depicted in green.

A special green element, located on the right and left edges of the banknote, is designed for visually impaired people and, due to the relief of the image, makes it possible to determine the denomination of the banknote.

In the lower part of the banknote, the ornamental background contains a "latent" (hidden) image in the form of the abbreviation "UZ", visible at a certain angle of the banknote in relation to the light source.

In the lower part of the left side there is an inscription “IKKI YUZ MING SO’M”, reflecting the denomination of the banknote and the text “O’ZBEKISTON SO’MI RESPUBLIKA HUDUDIDA HAMMA TO’LOVLAR UCHUN O’Z QIYMATI BO’YICHA QABUL QILINISHI SHART”.

The above-described images are made using an intaglio printing method, giving a sense of raised ink to the touch.

On the right side of the banknote, on a light background, circles of different diameters are printed, which, when copied, distort the image.

Also, the word “UZB 200,000 SO’M” is depicted in red on a green background of an ornamental pattern visible under ultraviolet rays. 

In the upper part, in the outline of the map of Uzbekistan, light lines show the directions of the caravan routes of the "Great Silk Road".

In the upper left part there is an element of the ornamental pattern of the architectural monument "XUDOYORXON O’RDASI", the image of which, performing the function of a register, serves to combine the "face" with the "turn". When viewed against the light, the light part of the banknote is combined with the colored background of the reverse side, forming a full-fledged image.

The banknote number consists of a two-letter series of the Latin alphabet and a seven-digit number. On the right side the number is printed horizontally, on the left side - vertically.

The reverse side of the banknote depicts the ancient archaeological monument "AXSIKENT ARXEOLOGIYA YODGORLIGI" dating back to the 3rd century BC, which was the capital of the ancient Fergana state.

In the center is the image of a "pomegranate", as a symbol of the well-known Quva pomegranate. It uses a modern special protective element "Spark live", which at different angles creates the effect of movement and color change.

On the right side are ceramic dishes and an ancient talisman in the form of a two-headed snake, dating back to the 2nd millennium BC, which are archaeological finds in the Ferghana Valley. 

The text “O’ZBEKISTON RESPUBLIKASI MARKAZIY BANKI” and the year of issue of the banknote “2022” are printed in the upper part on the left side. 

In the lower part, in the right and left corners on the same line, the denomination “200000” is placed in white, and the inscription “IKKI YUZ MING SO’M” is also printed in the upper right corner.
