The Kazakhstan commemorative coin “Capricorn” continues the series dedicated to the signs of the zodiac. Its design is executed in the style of rock art, giving the issue a distinctive artistic character.

A special feature of the issue is the combination of 925 sterling silver (10 g) and tantalum (15 g), which makes the coin especially striking. The denomination is 100 tenge, and the total weight is 25.00 g. One side bears the name of the state, zodiac signs, and a stylized sun, while the other shows the constellation, its conventional symbol, and its name. The coin is made in an unusual octagonal shape, emphasizing its collectible status and setting it apart from other issues in the series. The coin was minted in 2018.
