Kazakhstan marks 30 years of Tenge with new collector coin

On November 15th, Kazakhstan marks the 30th anniversary of its national currency. Ahead of this milestone, the country’s National Bank put into circulation the collector coins entitled ‘TEŃGEGE 30 JYL’ from the ‘Outstanding events and people’ series. There are 300 collector coins made of silver with a gilt finish, and another set of silver coins with a tantalum insert, totaling 2,000 pieces in circulation. The coins can be purchased at the online store of the National Bank of Kazakhstan.   

“The coin’s design is made in a modern aesthetic in line with the digitalization trend, encouraging the choice of this specific concept. As you can see, the design of the coin centers around the Tenge symbol, with an ornamental sprout on its left side, symbolizing the growth of our national currency and prosperity. At the same time, it adds a touch of national flavor to the coin,” said Almat Bassenov, Chief Designer of the National Bank of Kazakhstan.
