Interesting fact

The Pattern 20 Tyiyn coin was designed by the Kyrgyzstan artist, T. Sharshenova, and features a unique blend of traditional Kyrgyzstan motifs and modern design elements. The obverse of the coin features a stylized representation of the sun, which is a symbol of life and energy in Kyrgyzstan's culture, while the reverse features a depiction of a traditional Kyrgyzstan instrument, the komuz. The use of brass as the material for the coin adds a touch of warmth and durability to the design, making it a truly distinctive piece.
