| Additional information |
Kazakhstan's first national coinage was issued in November 1993, days after the tenge replaced the Soviet ruble at a rate of 500 rubles to one tenge. The transition was executed with deliberate speed — the government gave citizens only a narrow window to exchange old currency, effectively freezing out speculators and black-market ruble stockpiles. These earliest tyin coins were produced under contract by foreign mints before domestic striking capacity was established.
