The commemorative coin “Süyinbay” with a face value of 500 ₸ was issued by the National Bank of Kazakhstan as part of the “Portraits on Banknotes” series. It is dedicated to Süyinbay Aronuly, an outstanding Kazakh akyn whose name holds an important place in the history of national poetry and oral tradition. The poet’s image is well known from Kazakhstan’s banknotes, so this issue continues the idea of preserving cultural memory through numismatic releases. The coin is made of .925 silver and weighs 31.10 g. Its artistic concept emphasizes the significance of Süyinbay as one of the most prominent representatives of the Kazakh poetic tradition, whose work is associated with folk wisdom, improvisation, and the social resonance of poetry. This issue is of interest both to collectors and to those who appreciate commemorative coins dedicated to the history and culture of Kazakhstan.
