100 Tenge Sündet toi - Circumcision

Part of Kazakhstan's ongoing commemorative series celebrating traditional Kazakh life-cycle ceremonies, this coin marks sündet toi — the circumcision celebration observed as a major social event in Kazakh culture, typically accompanied by large feasts, music, and gifts to the boy's family. The Kazakh government has used coinage since the mid-2000s to systematically document intangible cultural heritage, partly in response to concerns about the erosion of nomadic traditions following decades of Soviet suppression of religious and customary practice.
