200000 Uzbekistani Som Banknote (Khans Palace)

200,000 So’m Som (Issued 2022)

A vivid turquoise and teal dominates the face of this 200,000 Som banknote from Uzbekistan, creating an immediate and arresting visual impression that speaks to the country’s celebrated Central Asian heritage. The overall composition is bold and geometric, combining architectural grandeur with intricate decorative patterning drawn from the region’s rich textile and tilework traditions. Issued in 2022 by the O’zbekiston Respublikasi Markaziy Banki, this high-denomination note represents the upper tier of Uzbekistan’s modern currency series. The printing quality is precise and vivid, with sharp colour contrasts throughout.

On the front, the central design features a detailed engraving of the Khudoyorxon O’rdasi, the Palace of Khudoyar Khan, located in Qo’qon (Kokand), identified by Latin-script text beneath the image. The palace is rendered with considerable architectural detail, showing its ornate facade, arched entrances, and decorative tiling, framed within a bold hexagonal cartouche outlined in dark ink against the turquoise ground. To the left of the central image, an elaborate panel of geometric and arabesque tilework patterns in deep teal and blue occupies a vertical band, echoing the iconic mosaic designs of Uzbek Islamic architecture. To the right, a contrasting section of the note displays ikat-style textile patterning in warm orange and red tones, a direct visual reference to the traditional silk weaving for which the Fergana Valley and the Silk Road are renowned. The serial number BZ0001227 appears twice — once vertically along the left side in deep blue and once horizontally in the lower right in matching ink. The issuing authority name, rendered in Latin script along the upper edge, reads O’ZBEKISTON RESPUBLIKASI MARKAZIY BANKI, with the denomination 200000 printed prominently in the upper left and lower right corners. The lower left carries the written denomination IKKI YUZ MING SO’M in bold red capitals. A central vertical security strip is embedded within the paper, visible as a metallic element running through the mid-section of the note. Below the palace illustration, a line of smaller Latin-script text sets out the legal tender declaration of the Uzbekistan Som. A partial map outline of Uzbekistan is faintly visible in the right-hand panel. The overall colour palette transitions from deep geometric teal on the left through a paler mint centre to the warm ikat pattern on the right, creating a tripartite composition of considerable sophistication.

The reverse of the note opens with the full issuing authority name O’ZBEKISTON RESPUBLIKASI MARKAZIY BANKI along the upper left, accompanied by the year 2022 directly beneath it. The upper right carries the written denomination IKKI YUZ MING SO’M in dark text. The dominant central image on the reverse is a broad, stylised landscape depiction of a mountain range rendered in muted blue and slate tones, identified by Latin-script text below as AXSIKENT ARXEOLOGIYA YODGORLIGI — the archaeological site of Akhsikent, an ancient Silk Road city. Above the mountain scene, a circular vignette in deep crimson and burgundy depicts a pomegranate motif with leaves, a symbol of fertility and abundance widely associated with Central Asian culture. To the right of the landscape sits a prominent sculptural object rendered in mauve and purple tones — a large decorative vessel or ancient artefact of curved, organic form, detailed with engraved surface patterning, likely referencing archaeological finds associated with the Akhsikent site. The denomination 200000 is printed in large bold numerals in the lower right, in deep indigo. A legal tender text line in Latin script runs along the lower portion of the note. The left-hand border features a band of refined geometric tilework in teal, consistent with the front design. The background paper carries subtle guilloché watermark-style patterning throughout, and a security thread is visible running vertically through the note when held to the light. The colour palette on the reverse combines cool steel blue, soft mint, deep plum, and burgundy in a harmonious and considered arrangement.
