| Additional information |
Kazakhstan declared independence on December 16, 1991, following the dissolution of the Soviet Union — one of the last republics to formally do so. This piece was issued to mark the twentieth anniversary of that declaration. At one kilogram of .999 gold and 100mm across, it belongs to a class of central bank prestige issues produced explicitly for reserve and institutional buyers rather than any secondary market.
KM#216 is among the largest denomination coins ever issued by the National Bank of Kazakhstan.
