Qazaq küresі is the traditional Kazakh wrestling form practiced at festivals like Nauryz and at the national games collectively known as kazakh oyyndary. The sport gained formal international recognition when it was admitted to SportAccord in 2010, and Kazakhstan has since pushed for broader global standardization of its rules and competition structure. This coin was issued under the ongoing "Sports" circulation commemorative program, through which the National Bank has intermittently highlighted traditional Kazakh athletic disciplines on circulating-quality nickel silver pieces.
