Against the background is the Kyrgyz national ornament.

Revers:
Above is the text "KYRGYZ BANK" and the number "1".
In the center there is an image of the Kyrgyz national instruments: komuz and kylkyyak on the background of the Kyrgyz State Philharmonic in Bishkek. On the right below is the year "1999". On the left on the vertical ornamental strip is the figure "1" and the text "BIR COM".
The komuz or qomuz (Kyrgyz: комуз Kyrgyz pronunciation: [qoˈmuz]), Azeri Qopuz, Turkish Kopuz, is an ancient fretless string instrument used in Central Asian music, related to certain other Turkic string instruments and the lute.
It is the best-known national instrument and one of the better-known Kyrgyz national symbols. The komuz is generally made from a single piece of wood (usually apricot or juniper) and has three strings traditionally made out of gut, and often from fishing line in modern times. In the most common tunings the middle string is the highest in pitch. Virtuosos frequently play the komuz in a variety of different positions; over the shoulder, between the knees and upside down. An illustration of a komuz is featured on the reverse of the one-som note. 
Kyl kyak (or kyak) is a traditional stringed bow instrument. The national kyyak is made from an ureak or nut tree. It has two strings and a bow (zhaa). The form of the kyaka is bucket-shaped, the short neck is slightly arched, two wooden spikes are attached to the round head. The upper half of the body is open, the lower half is covered with camel skin. The approximate length of the instrument is 60-70 cm. The largest width of the body is 16-20 cm. The strings are made of unshaved horsehair. The bow has an arcuate shape, horse hair is also pulled on it. The material for making the bow is a strong mountain plant tabylga (spiraea).
Arsenal of performing techniques in kyyakchy (performers on kyyak) is not as rich as that of komuzchu. They play the kyl kyak sitting while holding the instrument in a vertical position and leaning the lower part of the body against the knee. Folk musicians hold a bow from below, turning the palm of their right hand up.
Against the background - the building of the Kyrgyz National Philharmony in Bishkek (Frunze).
In the heart of the capital of Kyrgyzstan, on Chui Avenue, surrounded by a square, the snow-white building of the Kyrgyz National Philharmony is buried in greenery and flowers. In front of the temple of art, in a leap on his horse, the legendary hero, Manas, fought with the sword of the dragon. Bishkek residents and guests like to make a promenade along the alleys that stretch around the monument and enjoy the coolness from the fountain, the foamy streams of which shine and sparkle in the sun.
The Kyrgyz National Philharmonic is named in honor of the composer, virtuoso musician, akyn Toktogul Saltyganov. The importance of the personality of a well-deserved poet and musician in the culture of Kyrgyzstan can not be overestimated. Keeper of traditional art, master of folk epic, he was also one of the founders of modern Kyrgyz literature.
The building of the Philharmonic was built in 1980, and consists of two concert halls. The large hall accommodates 1 108 seats and a small organ hall - 314 seats. Not far from it is the house of the government of Kyrgyzstan and the National State University.
The temple of art keeps a rich history, its walls are remembered by performances of bright stars of musical Olympus, the best artists of their time: from the corpse of the Moscow Bolshoi Theater to the Moscow Art Theater. It also hosts events of a national scale.
On left side is the Kyrgyz ornament, used on theater building.
Denominations in numerals are in lower left and top right corners. In words on left side, vertically.
