Uzbekistan 500 Sum 1999, P-81(1), UNC

The 500 Sum shifts the series from architectural motifs to a monumental historical figure, with Amir Temur on horseback dominating the reverse.

Design & Symbolism

Obverse

Red, green and yellow guilloche fields place the coat of arms of Uzbekistan at left-center and the large denomination 500 across the lower middle. Uzbek inscriptions follow the upper border, with serial numbers in the lower field and a pale watermark panel at right. Overlapping rosettes and geometric stars create a vivid layered composition.

Reverse

The equestrian monument of Amir Temur in Tashkent occupies the main reverse vignette, showing the mounted figure in profile above a decorated base. A large circular tile-inspired medallion rises behind and to the right, while denomination numerals anchor the corners. Red and green ornamental bands and fine line patterns frame the monument.

Collector’s Insight

For collectors, P-81(1) is identified by the central 5 in 500 showing no UV activity. The note is dated 1999 but was introduced on 1 June 2000; the artwork is otherwise shared with P-81(2), so UV inspection is the practical Pick-level distinction.
