Kyrgyzstani Som to Norwegian Krone

The Kyrgyz som (sign с, code KGS) is the national currency of the Kyrgyz Republic. Tyins are coins used for the Kyrgyz som exchange. Every KGS has 100 tyins.

The currency was introduced in 1993 after the dissolution of the USSR. The Soviet ruble was used before. The Russian ruble was also in use for some time. Notes have iconic political figures, poets are writers, famous composers depicted on them. From time to time, the state issues commemorative notes with an original vertical design.

The Norwegian krone (symbol: kr, code: NOK, number 578) is the national currency of Norway, valid in the country since 1874 to have replaced the Norwegian daler. Although nominally the krone is subdivided into 100 ore, coins denominations of less than 1 crone have been discontinued, and ore has existed only electronically since 2012. The banknotes design bears traditional Scandinavian decorations depicting ships, lighthouses, sea waves, cod.

The exchange rate varies depending on oil prices and other economic factors. The average inflation index is low,e.g. in autumn 2019 it was only 1.8%. During 2017 - 2019, all old banknotes were replaced in the country. They can be exchanged in banks until 2028.
