The 500 tenge silver coin, weighing 31.10 g, commemorates the 30th anniversary of the closure of the Semipalatinsk Nuclear Test Site, a significant event in Kazakhstan's history. The design features the inscription "SEMEI IADROLYQ POLIGONYNYN JABYLGANYNA 30 JYL" and an image of a nuclear mushroom cloud. The symbol is divided into two parts: the left side shows sharp fragments representing the tragedy of nuclear testing and human suffering; the right side depicts the silhouette of a dried tree with a green leaf in its crown, symbolizing nature's damage and hope for renewal. Struck in .925 silver with a diameter of 38.61 mm, the coin marks the closure date of August 29, 1991. It is part of the "Outstanding Events and People - Kazakhstan" series and is issued in proof quality.
