| Obverse description | Central field bears the national coat of arms of Kazakhstan, depicting a shanyrak (the upper dome of a yurt) with supporting uyk beams radiating outward, flanked by mythical winged horses. Below the coat of arms, the denomination '100' appears prominently in large numerals, with 'ТЕҢГЕ' inscribed beneath. The bilingual circular legend reads 'ҚАЗАҚСТАН ҰЛТТЫҚ БАНКІ' in Kazakh and 'NATIONAL BANK OF KAZAKHSTAN' in English, separated by a bullet point, running along the coin's periphery. Decorative Kazakh ornamental motifs flank the central design elements in the field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a bold stylized numeral '25' dominating the central field, commemorating the 25th anniversary of the Kazakhstani tenge. The word 'ТЕҢГЕ' is inscribed across the upper portion of the numeral, with 'ЖЫЛ' below, together reading '25 years of Tenge' in Kazakh. Superimposed within the loop of the numeral '5' is a reproduction of the obverse design of the 1 tenge coin of 2018, showing the Kazakhstan coat of arms within a beaded circle. The date range '1993-2018' appears along the lower rim, marking the period of the currency's circulation. A ring of raised beads frames the entire reverse design along the coin's inner border. |

| Additional information |
The tenge itself was introduced on November 15, 1993, replacing the Soviet ruble at a rate of 500 rubles to one tenge — a politically charged decision that Kazakhstan had delayed longer than most post-Soviet republics, initially hoping for a viable ruble zone that never materialized. This commemorative marks the 25th anniversary of that transition. Nickel silver was a deliberate choice for circulation-quality commemoratives in this series, keeping production costs manageable while still distinguishing the piece from standard coinage.
