The 50 ₸ coin, issued in 2013, is dedicated to Aldar-Kose, one of the most famous characters in Kazakh folklore. In folk tales, he appears as a witty, resourceful, and cheerful hero who uses his cleverness to overcome difficult situations and often puts greedy, lazy, and unjust people in their place. His image is associated with the ideas of folk wisdom, humor, and the protection of ordinary people. The issue of such a coin highlights the importance of Kazakhstan’s oral tradition and fairy-tale heritage, in which Aldar-Kose holds a special place as a symbol of cunning, justice, and a good-natured attitude toward life. The coin is made of nickel silver and weighs 11.17 g.
