Collection coins of the National Bank of the Kyrgyz Republic
Collection coins are a special category of currency issued in limited quantities and possessing artistic and historical value. Unlike circulation coins, collection coins are usually made of precious metals using high-quality technologies, combining value, tradition and the art of minting, while remaining an important element of national and cultural heritage.
The National Bank of the Kyrgyz Republic issues collection coins to preserve and promote the national cultural heritage, reflecting significant historical events, memorable dates and natural resources of Kyrgyzstan. The themes of issues cover a wide range of areas: traditions and customs, architectural monuments, unique flora and fauna, national sports, etc.
The first collection coins, issued in 1995, played a key role in establishment of the numismatic market in Kyrgyzstan.
The National Bank issues collection coins made of precious and non-precious metals every year. Owing to the use of advanced minting technologies, these coins are highly valuable, as well as serve as a vivid embodiment of the beauty, originality and uniqueness of Kyrgyzstan.
The collection coins of Kyrgyzstan are highly regarded and are in steady demand within the republic and beyond its borders. The international awards received by the National Bank from various specialized numismatic publications and organizations confirm this.
By issuing collection coins, the National Bank of the Kyrgyz Republic seeks to commemorate the events and values that are significant for the country, as well as to contribute to strengthening the positive image of Kyrgyzstan internationally.
