| Reverse description | The central tantalum field features a large stylized tenge currency symbol (₸) rendered within an artistic composition evoking the development of digital technologies, with geometric and circuit-like design elements surrounding the motif. To the right of the central design, within the outer silver ring, the commemorative inscription TEŃGEGE 30 JYL appears in Kazakh, denoting the 30th anniversary of the tenge currency. The overall design contrasts the dark tantalum center against the lustrous silver ring to striking visual effect. |

| Additional information |
Kazakhstan introduced its national currency in November 1993, replacing the Soviet ruble as the country established independent monetary infrastructure just two years after the dissolution of the USSR. The tenge's name derives from a medieval Turkic weight and monetary unit, and its launch required the covert printing of banknotes in the UK — the operation kept secret even from most government officials until the switchover day.
Tantalum is rarely used in commemorative bimetallics; its extreme hardness and density complicate both die preparation and striking pressure calibration, which is part of why issues combining it with a silver ring remain genuinely unusual in modern numismatics.
