The 500-tenge commemorative coin of Kazakhstan is dedicated to the adyrna, an ancient multi-stringed instrument known among Turkic and Kipchak peoples. Its image is associated with the earliest layers of the musical culture of the steppe and reflects the richness of traditional heritage. Information about the adyrna is confirmed by archaeological finds, including materials from the Issyk burial mounds of the Saka period. The instrument was reintroduced into modern musical practice in 1985, which became an important event for the study and revival of national instruments. The coin is struck in .925 silver and weighs 24.00 g. It reflects an interest in the history of Kazakh musical tradition and emphasizes the importance of ancient instruments as part of the cultural memory of the people.
