Issued by Kazakhstan in 2021, this 200 tenge cupronickel coin weighing 15.00 g commemorates Salyut-1, the world’s first crewed orbital space station. Its release marks the 50th anniversary of the station’s launch from Baikonur Cosmodrome, a site closely linked with major milestones in space exploration. Salyut-1 opened a new stage in human activity beyond Earth by serving as the first long-term platform for scientific work in orbit. The coin belongs to the SPACE - KAZAKHSTAN series and reflects the country’s connection to the history of astronautics through Baikonur, from which this landmark mission began.
