History reference:
The North Korean Won is the official currency of the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea. There are two versions of spelling and pronunciation: "won" - in the feminine, as prescribed by the Spelling... Dictionary of the Russian Language of the Russian Academy of Sciences, edited by V.V. Lopatin, and "won" in the masculine - as the Bank of Russia writes in its daily quotes of the currency bearing the same name as South Korea. This is due to the complexity of translation from Eastern languages. Throughout almost its entire history, the Korean Peninsula has been under the cultural, political and economic influence of a powerful neighbor - China. This influence was also reflected in the monetary system of Korea. Until the end of the 19th century, the main monetary unit was the Korean mun - a cast bronze coin with a square hole.

Since November 15, 1993, in the Republic of Uzbekistan, in order to protect the domestic market from excess ruble supply, additional temporary banknotes "sums" or sum-coupons were introduced in a ratio of 1: 1 to the Soviet ruble. On July 1, 1994, by the Decree of the President of Uzbekistan, a constant currency is put into circulation - the Uzbek Soum at the rate of 1 sum = 1000 sum-coupons. On July 1, 2013, the Central Bank of the Republic of Uzbekistan issued a new banknote with a face value of 5,000 soums. Currently, all banknotes and coins are in circulation, but banknotes up to ten and coins up to twenty-five soums are not used.
