About Kyrgyzstani Som
The Kyrgyzstani Som (KGS) has been the official currency of Kyrgyzstan since 1993, replacing the Soviet ruble following independence. The word "som" means "pure" in Kyrgyz and several other Turkic languages, historically referring to pure silver or gold. The National Bank of the Kyrgyz Republic manages monetary policy with a managed float regime. Kyrgyzstan is a Central Asian country with a landlocked mountain economy dependent on gold mining (the Kumtor mine is one of Central Asia's largest), remittances from workers in Russia and Kazakhstan, agriculture, and some manufacturing.
About Azerbaijani Manat
The Azerbaijani Manat (AZN) is the official currency of Azerbaijan, reintroduced as the "new manat" in 2006 to replace the old manat at a rate of 5,000 to 1. The Central Bank of the Republic of Azerbaijan issues the manat, which is divided into 100 qapik. Azerbaijan's economy is strongly driven by oil and natural gas exports from the Caspian Sea region, making the manat's value closely tied to energy commodity prices. The currency experienced a significant devaluation in 2015-2016 when oil prices fell sharply. The manat's name derives from the Russian word for "coin".
