In 1992 when it declared it's independence, banknotes first replaced the Soviet ruble. Coins were introduced in 1994. Because Uzbekistan could not strike enough coins - previously all the Soviet coins were struck in Moscow and Leningrad Mint, some Uzbek coins were struck in Pobjoy Mint, UK. There are three coins which feature the mintmark PM. 20 tiyin coins are the rarest circulated coin - asking price is an insane 200USD which I think it's somewhat ridiculous. There are also some varieties as well such as the plain and dotted variety Another variety is the pointed 1 tiyin: Normal type: Pointed 1: These coins were soon placed by som due to inflation but these coins circulated for a short period of time. The rarest year of Uzbek coins are 1998 especially the 1 som - check your collection to see if you have one. Interesting challenge if you are after modern rarity and varieties.

svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 03/06/2010 10:07 pm Very interesting! I never thought Pobjoy did any former Soviet circulation coins. The mint seems to be too snobbish for that. On the other hand I recall seeing a list of mints by country and for Uzbekistan the only mint listed was Pobjoy. I believe I dismissed it then as an absurd typo. But now I have a question - why some coins have the MM and some don't? Was there another mint? I remember the rumors that the new Uzbek banknotes were minted in Turkey, but I have no idea how accurate it is. I looked through all my Uzbek coins, not a single MM. Pity!

Here's their homepage and they are proud enough to list it on their site: http://www.pobjoy.com/ukworld/page....bout_us.html Tashkent Mint is listed as following: http://planet-business.info/ter26/b...pub-mzoe.htm They don't seem to have an official homepage.
