The commemorative coin of Kazakhstan, “Sagittarius,” continues the series dedicated to the signs of the zodiac. Its artistic design is based on imagery reminiscent of ancient rock art, giving the issue a distinctive character and linking modern numismatics with archaic motifs. The coin features a combination of .925 silver and tantalum, as well as color-changing technology, through which the insert emphasizes the symbolism of the element associated with this sign. The coin has a face value of 100 tenge and a weight of 25.00 grams. One side bears the name of the National Bank of Kazakhstan, the zodiac signs, and a stylized sun; the other shows the image of the Sagittarius constellation, its symbolic sign, and its name. The coin is made in the shape of an octagon, which sets it apart from traditional issues and enhances its decorative appeal.
