The 200 ₸ commemorative coin of Kazakhstan is dedicated to the Turanga, or Euphrates poplar, a rare tree that holds a special place in the natural and cultural heritage of the steppe regions. Among many peoples, certain trees were endowed with sacred meaning, and for the ancient nomads the Turanga was considered one of these revered plants. It is associated with ideas of resilience, vital force, and the connection between humans and the surrounding world. Today, the Turanga has not only historical and cultural significance but also environmental importance, as it is listed in the Red Book of Kazakhstan. The coin is made of cupronickel and weighs 15.00 g. This issue highlights the importance of preserving rare plant species and treating Kazakhstan’s unique natural heritage with care.
