Informazioni aggiuntive	Kazakhstan's first national coinage appeared in November 1993, replacing the Soviet ruble after independence, but the 1992 date on this piece reflects the design and authorization year rather than actual minting — a distinction that trips up collectors unfamiliar with the series. The National Bank had been preparing currency infrastructure for over a year before the tenge was formally introduced, and these early denominations were struck in anticipation of the eventual monetary transition.
