The 1000 ₸ commemorative coin is struck in .925 silver and weighs 67.25 g. The issue marks the tenth anniversary of Kazakhstan’s national currency and reflects an important state symbol of the country. At the center of the artistic design is the State Emblem of the Republic of Kazakhstan, rendered with particular care and expressiveness. Blue enamel and gilding are used in the design, giving the composition a solemn and distinctly official character. This combination of decorative elements enhances the visual depth and makes the image of the emblem more striking. The coin is of interest both as a commemorative issue connected with the history of the tenge’s development and as an example of numismatic art in which state symbolism is carefully and effectively embodied in precious metal.
