The commemorative coin of Kazakhstan, "Baikonur," is dedicated to the cosmodrome, which holds a special place in the history of space exploration. It was from Baikonur that many key milestones in space exploration began: the first artificial Earth satellite was launched from here, and the first human spaceflight was carried out. This issue highlights the importance of the complex as a significant scientific and historical site associated with the development of rocket and space technology and international cooperation. The coin has a face value of 500 tenge, is made of .925 silver with a .999 tantalum insert, and weighs 41.40 g. It is part of a series dedicated to the significant symbols and achievements of the Republic of Kazakhstan and reflects respect for the legacy of Baikonur as part of the nation’s history and global progress.
