A Gift for Him: Silver and Gold Coins of Kazakhstan When you want to give something truly out of the ordinary — not another gadget, not a piece of clothing,...


The 500 ₸ silver coin, weighing 31.10 g, is dedicated to the yurt as one of the main symbols of the traditional culture of the Kazakh people. The artistic concept presents the yurt as a special space reflecting the nomads’ way of life, their worldview, and the connection between human beings and the surrounding world. For centuries, this type of dwelling retained its importance not only as a practical home, but also as a significant part of the historical and cultural heritage of the steppe. The reverse design features the yurt itself, elements of its interior decoration, as well as stylized household objects associated with the ethnocultural life of nomadic peoples. The composition is completed by the inscription KIIZ UI.
