The 100 ₸ silver coin of Kazakhstan is dedicated to the pentathlon events in the program of the 2008 Olympic Games and is part of the National Bank’s sports series. The issue reflects the country’s attention to the Olympic movement and to sports that require athletes to demonstrate all-round training, endurance, and precision. Modern pentathlon is defined by the combination of several disciplines, making this theme especially suitable for a commemorative numismatic release associated with the ideas of strength, skill, and sporting character. The coin is struck in .925 silver and weighs 31.10 g. It is of interest both to collectors of Kazakhstani issues and to those who collect coins related to sports and the Olympic Games. The 2008 issue became part of a commemorative program dedicated to important international sporting events.
