| Reverse description | The reverse features a stylised depiction of a 'Curled Bars' ornament from the Taldy-2 archaeological site in Central Kazakhstan, dating to the 7th century BC. The central motif takes the form of a ring shaped in the figure of a curled leopard, a Scythian-era symbol representing the cyclical nature of time and harmony with the natural world. An eight-pointed star is positioned at the top of the inner disc, flanking the mintmark 'QUB'. The face value '100 TEŃGE' is inscribed in bold relief at the lower portion of the reverse field. |

| Additional information |
Kazakhstan redesigned its entire circulating coinage in 2019–2022 as part of a broader currency modernization program, retiring older types that had accumulated design inconsistencies across decades of post-Soviet issuance. The 100 Tenge denomination anchors everyday transactions in a country where the tenge has weathered two significant devaluations — 2009 and 2015 — the latter triggered by falling oil revenues and the ruble's collapse, which forced the National Bank to abandon its managed exchange rate almost overnight.
