The National Bank of Kazakhstan
has released new collector coins, including one called AI•KÚN from the ‘Magical
Symbols’ series. The design is inspired by the nomadic concept of the unity of
opposites, where the sun represents determination and activity, and the moon
signifies pacification and creativity. Crafted from silver and melchior, the coin
is available in denominations of 200, 500, and 5,000 tenge, mirroring the TÚIE
coin, which has expanded the ‘Cult animals as totems of nomads’ series.
“This is already the sixth coin
within this series, characterized by a unified design concept in the Saka
animal style. The camel, in the beliefs of nomads, symbolizes dignity,
independence, power, and endurance. Therefore, it was revered among the nomadic
peoples. All these coins are available for purchase in the online store of the
country’s National Bank,” said Almat Bassenov, Chief Designer of the National
Bank of Kazakhstan.
