2000 Tenge

Kazakhstan established its own banknote printing facility in Almaty in 1997, one of the few former Soviet republics to do so within a decade of independence — most continued relying on Goznak in Moscow or Western security printers well into the 2000s. The 2006 dating on P#31 places this note within a series that underwent quiet security upgrades across multiple years without formal redesign, meaning the security thread and watermark specifications differ from earlier printings in ways not always reflected in catalog distinctions.
