Obverse

Depicts the state emblem of Uzbekistan surrounded by the country name (Republic of Uzbekistan) and 12 stars representing the twelve provinces of Uzbekistan.

The state emblem of Uzbekistan is in the form of a circle. On the left, there is a cotton plant and to the right wheat borders the coat of arms. Cotton and wheat are the two major agricultural products of the country. It is surmounted by the star of Rub El Hizb (۞), a symbol of Islam, which a majority of Uzbeks profess.

In the centre, a right-facing Huma (or Khumo) is displayed with outstretched wings. This legendary bird symbolizes peace, happiness and striving for freedom. Enclosed by Huma's wings is a depiction of the rising sun over mountains, overlooking green pastures. Two rivers, the Amu Darya and Sir Darya, flow from the mountains and crepuscular rays emanate from the rising sun at the rear of the emblem. The Huma is perched on a banner at the base of the cotton and wheat borders which bears the name of the country in Cyrillic (Ўзбекистон) script.
