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.
