| Additional information |
Kazakhstan's weightlifting program has historically punched well above its weight — the country claimed gold at the 1996 Atlanta Games through Halil Mutlu and dominated successive Olympic cycles before a wave of retrospective doping disqualifications stripped multiple medals following reanalysis of stored samples from Beijing 2008. This coin predates those disqualifications, issued in the run-up to London 2012 as part of a broader National Bank series promoting Kazakh Olympic ambitions at a moment when the federation still considered weightlifting its most reliable medal source.
