The '''som''' ({{lang-uz|'''so‘m''' in [[Latin alphabet|Latin script]], сўм in [[Cyrillic alphabet#Uzbek|Cyrillic script]]}}) is the currency of [[Uzbekistan]] in [[Central Asia]]. The [[ISO 4217]] currency code is UZS.
==Etymology==
<!-- Dear editor, if you edit this etymology, please also edit the copy on Kyrgyz som -->
In the [[Soviet Union]], speakers of [[Kazakh language|Kazakh]], [[Kyrgyz language|Kyrgyz]] and [[Uzbek language|Uzbek]] called the [[Soviet ruble|ruble]] the ''som'', and this name appeared written on the back of banknotes, among the texts for the value of the bill in all 15 official languages of the Union. The word ''som'' (sometimes transliterated "sum" or "soum") means "pure" in [[Kyrgyz language|Kyrgyz]], [[Uyghur language|Uyghur]] and [[Uzbek language|Uzbek]], as well as in many other [[Turkic language]]s. The word implies "pure [[gold]]"
==First Som==
Like other republics of the former [[Soviet Union]], Uzbekistan continued using [[Russian ruble|Soviet/Russian ruble]] after independence. On [[July 26]], [[1993]], a new series of Russian ruble was issued and old Soviet/Russian ruble ceased to be legal tender in Russia <ref name=GFD>[http://www.globalfinancialdata.com/index.php3?action=showghoc&country_name=Russia The Global History of Currencies - Russia]</ref> <ref name=tradeReport>[http://dosfan.lib.uic.edu/erc/economics/trade_reports/1993/Uzbekistan.html Uzbekistan Economic Policy and Trade Practices]</ref>. Some successor states had their national currencies before the change, some chose to continue using the pre-1993 Soviet/Russian ruble, and some chose to use both the pre-1993 and the new Russian ruble. ''Tables of modern monetary history: Asia''<ref name=TMMH>{{numis cite TMMH|region=asia}}</ref> implies that both old and new rubles were used in Uzbekistan.
Uzbekistan replaced the ruble with som at par in on [[November 15]], [[1993]] <ref name=TMMH/>. No subdivisions of this som were issued and only banknotes were produced, in denominations of 1, 3, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 200, 500, 1000, 5000, and 10000 som. Because it was meant to be a transitional currency, the design was rather simplistic. All notes had the [[Coat of arms of Uzbekistan|Coat of arms]] on obverse, and an Islamic architecture on reverse. They only differ in color and value.
==Second Som==
On [[July 1]], [[1994]]<ref name=TMMH/>, a second som was introduced at a rate of 1 new som = 1000 old som. This som is subdivided into 100 ''tiyin''. At its introduction, 1 U.S. dollar was equal to 7 som.
===Coins===
2 series of coins have been issued for the second som. They can be easily distinguished by the script used for [[Uzbek language|Uzbek]]. The first series was written in [[Cyrillic alphabet#Uzbek|Cyrillic script]], while the second series is written in [[Latin alphabet|Latin script]].
