The 2000 commemorative coin of Kazakhstan is dedicated to the 1500th anniversary of Turkestan, one of the oldest cities in the region, which played an important role in the history, culture, and spiritual life of Central Asia. The issue reflects respect for the city’s rich heritage, as for centuries it was a major center of trade, craftsmanship, and the spread of Islamic culture. Turkestan is closely associated with the name of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi, whose spiritual influence became an important part of the people’s historical memory. The 50 tenge coin is made of nickel silver and weighs 11.17 g. It is part of the series "Outstanding Events and People - Kazakhstan" and is of interest as a commemorative issue connected with an important anniversary in the country’s history.
