The 200 tenge commemorative coin of Kazakhstan is part of the WILDLIFE OF KAZAKHSTAN series and is dedicated to the kulan (Equus hemionus), a rare member of the horse family. The kulan resembles a donkey, which is reflected in its scientific name meaning "half-donkey." This species is an important part of the natural heritage of the steppe and semi-desert regions of Central Asia and is listed in Kazakhstan's national Red Book as a rare and protected species. The coin emphasizes the importance of biodiversity conservation and the protection of endangered wildlife. Made of cupronickel, the coin weighs 15.00 g and has a diameter of 33.00 mm. The depiction of the kulan symbolizes endurance, freedom, and the value of Kazakhstan's unique fauna.
