The commemorative coin of Kazakhstan, “Cosmos,” with a face value of 500 ₸, is dedicated to the exploration of outer space and the country’s role in this field. The issue is part of the “Space - Kazakhstan” series, reflecting the importance of the nation’s land as a significant part of the history of world cosmonautics. For Kazakhstan, this theme has special value because of Baikonur, from where many landmark flights and scientific programs began. The coin is made of nickel silver and weighs 11.17 g. Its artistic design expresses the idea of movement toward new discoveries, scientific progress, and humanity’s aspiration beyond Earth. This issue is of interest both to collectors and to those interested in the history of space exploration, commemorative issues of the National Bank of Kazakhstan, and symbolism associated with the space age.
