The commemorative 50 ₸ coin of Kazakhstan is dedicated to the Soyuz-Apollo program, which became an important milestone in the history of world space exploration. The joint experimental mission of the Soviet Soyuz 19 spacecraft and the American Apollo spacecraft became a symbol of scientific cooperation between the two countries during the era of space rivalry. The project gained wide recognition thanks to the first-ever docking in orbit of crewed spacecraft from different nations. The coin reflects Kazakhstan’s interest in the theme of space exploration, closely connected with Baikonur and the development of international space programs. It is made of nickel silver, weighs 11.17 g, and has a face value of 50 ₸.
