Issued in Kazakhstan, this 100 tenge coin honors the 60th anniversary of the historic flight of Belka and Strelka, the Soviet dogs that became the first animals to complete an orbital mission and return safely to Earth.

The coin reflects Kazakhstan’s connection with the history of cosmonautics through Baikonur, one of the world’s most significant launch sites. Struck in neyizilber, it has a weight of 11.17 grams and a face value of 100 tenge. The issue commemorates a mission that remains a notable milestone in the early Space Age.
