| Additional information |
The Kazakh Khanate was founded around 1465 when sultans Janibek and Kerei broke from the Uzbek Khanate and led a migration of followers into the Chu River valley, establishing what historians regard as the origin point of a distinct Kazakh political identity. Kazakhstan began commemorating this founding in earnest after independence, and the 550th anniversary fell conveniently close enough to the 2015 Expo bid and broader nation-building efforts that the issue carried real official weight rather than being a purely numismatic exercise.
KM#319 is a circulation commemorative, not a proof issue — struck for general release rather than collector sets.
