Issued by Kazakhstan in 2023, this 200 tenge coin continues the “Wildlife of Kazakhstan” series and is dedicated to the Balkhash perch, a fish closely associated with the waters of Lake Balkhash and nearby river systems. The design highlights the importance of this species as part of the country’s natural heritage and draws attention to the diversity of Kazakhstan’s aquatic fauna. Struck in cupronickel and weighing 15.00 grams, the coin combines a strong nature theme with the careful artistic approach characteristic of circulating commemorative issues. The fish is depicted in a way that emphasizes its distinctive shape and its connection to the region’s unique ecosystem. This issue reflects a sustained interest in local fauna and serves as a small numismatic tribute to one of Kazakhstan’s notable freshwater species.
