| Comments |
Kazakhstan established its own banknote printing facility in Almaty in 1997, making it one of the few post-Soviet republics to bring currency production fully in-house within the first decade of independence. The 200 Tenge was first issued in 1999; this 2006 dated iteration is a continuation of that series rather than a redesign, with no substantive changes to the security specification beyond the watermark already present in earlier printings.
Watermark-only security on a circulating denomination by the mid-2000s was already considered minimal, and the note was eventually superseded by a polymer upgrade program.
