The 500 ₸ (tenge) gold coin is dedicated to the Faisal Mosque in Islamabad and is part of a series introducing outstanding Islamic shrines of the world. For this issue, one of Pakistan’s most recognizable religious landmarks was chosen, known for its unusual architecture in which traditional forms are reinterpreted in a modern style. The mosque was built with the support of King Faisal bin Abdulaziz of Saudi Arabia, after whom it was named. Its austere silhouette, lofty prayer hall, and slender minarets have made this mosque an important symbol of Islamabad. The coin is struck in .9999 fine gold, weighs 3.11 g, and has a face value of 500 ₸ (tenge). This issue is of interest both to collectors and to those who appreciate commemorative coins dedicated to world architecture and spiritual heritage.
