The 100 ₸ silver coin, weighing 24 grams, is dedicated to the madrasa in Semey associated with the years of Abai Kunanbayev’s studies. Its obverse depicts the façade of this educational institution, which played a notable role in shaping the future poet and thinker. The reference to the madrasa highlights the importance of both spiritual and secular education in Abai’s biography and also recalls the cultural environment in which his views were formed. The composition emphasizes the architectural appearance of the building, making it the central focus of the issue. Struck in sterling silver (Ag 925), the coin is regarded as a commemorative issue connected with Abai’s legacy and the history of Kazakh culture.
